They have the 308 to go where they want to go and you'd restore a bus from Cobalt to Northumberland Park (the last 19 is 20:48 now).It wouldn't be a bad idea in theory, but the PVR would still need to be 3x vehicles as it would take more than 30 minutes for both the 310 & 311 go complete their journeys.
Bus partnership and all that it 'should' not be a problem. Means the 310 gets a quicker service than meandering around Hadrian Park as well.
Plus the 309 does carry an 'okayish' load during the evenings as does the 310. The extra few minutes through Hadrian Park on the 310 at a night time when the roads are quiet isn't a big deal.
But, Arriva on the otherhand could look to amend the 53 to additionally serve Northumberland Park during the evenings perhaps?
