(06 May 2021, 9:43 pm)tynesider The 309/310/311 service group appears to have a welcome addition on an evening of a 311 at xx:00 from Newcastle, plugging the current 40 minute gap between the 310 at xx:40 and the 309 at xx:20 - The 310 still serves Hadrian Park on an evening.
For Haymarket - Station Road, Arriva would still be a more favourable option - Same number of buses per hour as GNE, although at a lower fare.
IMO, the evening & Sunday 311 is a waste.
For evenings, I'd say make the 309 & 310 half hourly (every 15 mins) until 9pm then hourly (every 30 mins combined) until last bus. Obviously Sundays go hourly each earlier, circa 7pm.
Sunday daytimes, the 309 often gets stuck on the Coast so I'd say make both the Sunday 309 & 310 standalone with the 310 via Hadrian Park. That would only reduce Sunday PVR by 1x but massively improve reliability.
