They've been largely untouched throughout the chaos which suggests they make money and demand is there - so why is there almost a constant clamour to re-route or jig them (which is ironically what many of us criticise the life out of GNE for doing to the rest of its network)

Bottom line is they wouldn't be re-jigged by much.

306/308 would still be largely unchanged bar the 306 no longer going through Battle Hill. Do note that the QA Campus has now re-located to the main Tynemet grounds

309/310 would be largely unchanged other than the 309 serving High Farm and 310 additionally serving Windsor Drive replacing the 51

22A would give a stable link from Hadrian Park and save on a one-way in one-way out de-tour. Basically offering the same links right into Newcastle as the 57/58 did

A cleaner 5 minute frequency between Station Road and Newcastle and individual 10 minute frequencies working in partnership will benefit both operators and help take a 'minibus' route off the road
