First up 309:
.Reduced to every 30 minutes
.309 revised to serve hadrian Park between middle engine lane & battle hill
.Extended to Metrocentre:
The extension will run like this :
.Between battle hill and cradlewell buses will run to the current route
.after cradlewell buses will continue to run on the A1058 and will eventually merge onto the central motorway where it will operate via to the Newbridge Street roundabout towards Metrocentre buses will then operate via Durrant Street, New Bridge Street, Pilgrim Street where the service will stop at
.From Pilgrim Street buses will then operate along Pilgrim Street to the roundabout there where buses will turn onto Newgate Street operating via St Nicholas Street (Serving High Level Bridge North) & Newgate Street to Serve Central station
.From there buses will observe the 12/A route to Serve Scotswood Bridge to observe Scotswood Road & Newcastle business Park
.Between the Scotswood Bridge & Metrocentre buses will observe the same route as the SC 6/7
.Towards Blyth buses will operate via the same route as towards Metrocentre towards central station (although will stop at Clayton Street instead due to the 1 way system from there buses will operate via Clayton Street up to the Newgate Street turn where buses will turn right (observing Newgate Street Wilkinson) from there buses will turn left onto market Street (where buses will observe a stop on for their main Newcastle stop) up to the Newgate Street roundabout where buses will operate via the central motorway & A1058 to cradlewell and the normal route.
310:

.Revised to operate Every 30 mins
.Will additionally operate via Hadrian Park
.Will be Extended to Metrocentre with the same route as the 309 extension

Between Blyth & Bebside asda buses will follow the same route as the arriva 1 serving all stops before operating via the A189 to Northumbria hospital
From Silverlink buses will operate non-Stop via the coast road and between corner house & Metrocentre will follow the same route as the 309/310

Interworking:
