I know they've got the local links but GNE offer far more outside of S.E Northumberland (Ten, Ttx, Angel, Red Arrows, NPower and if you miss the 19, 309/X39).Personally, I'd love to see GNE go into the area, as I'd like to see what Arriva could do in response. I'd assume not a lot.

I doubt GNE would, if they were to introduce routes, use anything more unreliable and tired than the 57-reg Enviro 400's.

- Retime all Monday to Saturday 309 / 310 journeys to ensure that they arrive 2 minutes before Arriva at Haymarket and 2 minutes after for the most part of the day.
- Retime all evening journeys to arrive at 02, 17, 32, 47 and depart at 05, 20, 35, 50. This would mean a frequency increase for both services to every 30 minutes during the evenings.
- Retime all Sunday daytime journeys to arrive at 11, 26, 41, 56 and depart at the same times past and to the hour as the evening journeys.
- Make the last 309 to Blyth 2220 and the last 309 (310 on a Sunday Night) at 2320 and last 310 (not on a Sunday Night) at 2335.
- Split the 309 and 310 / X39 at all times bar a Sunday daytime and bring a B7 over from Riverside as a spare or 6100 if reliability improves on the Fab 56.

Sorry to disappoint, Tommy, but no bus wars this time!
