But when it was Citaros, the 10 & 10A were both every 20 mins. Deckers were purchased to allow a frequency reduction on 10 & 10A to every 30 mins each. So on 10, the seats per hour was increased from 120 to 142 and the same on 10A.
with the introduction of 10B, this kept then ten minute service through Ryton & Blaydon giving 426 seats compared to 240 previously, meaning people no longer had to stand and were able to be seated.
