310/W3 when the Norham road bridge works start and then the 80 when Billy Mill starts. Going to cause chaos
Can't speak for the W3 or the 80 but if they needed to, 6100 could be brought over from Deptford and result in the 309 / 310 being split for most journeys meaning that:
- With the exception of perhaps the peak times or early mornings where needed for operational reasons or else, no 309 / 310 / X39 journeys would interwork bar a Sunday daytime.
- 309 would operate with a PVR of 10 and the 310 operating with a PVR of 7 with a standby bus being sent to Shields if needed.
- 309 changeovers would take place at New York or North Tyneside Hospital with the 310's taking place on Verne Road as now. Only exception to this would be the small number of journeys which would interwork for operational reasons or else.
- 309 would have 7 minutes layover in Newcastle and roughly 12 minutes in Blyth whereas the 310 would have 6 minutes layover in Newcastle and 12 minutes layover in North Shields (or less if the timings of the 310 were altered to accommodate for the disruption).
