They are valid at all times of the day for return journeys on the Metro and on the train between Newcastle and Sunderland. A return ticket is ideal if you need to make a return journey on the same day and is much cheaper than buying two single tickets. The price of a return ticket is reduced after 9.00am on weekdays and all day at weekends and public holidays. The price depends on the number of zones you travel in – see the attached zone map below. | Zone | Price after 9.00am | Price before 9.00am | | One zone | £1.90 | £2.30 | | Two zones | £2.90 | £3.50 | | Three zones | £3.80 | £4.60 | How to buy one
You can buy them at any ticket machine located on all Metro stations. Simply press 1, 2, or 3 on the return panel.
