- Yes - Basically same services as now with frequency reductions but 51 properly amalgamated into the Coast Road corrdior. All 'slow' buses through Battle Hill Drive to further differentiate the X38.
Do the existing buses on the corridor get so full, they need to have this sort of frequency?
- Would reduce Newcastle - Station Road from 12x buses per hour to 10x (was a messy 18x per hour before QA) and Newcastle - Battle Hill from 9x buses per hour to 8x per hour.
Is there room for growth?
- Yes, new housing developments in East Benton and Holystone creating demand especially between Holystone & Newcastle and also new housing developments near North Tyneside Hospital creating demand for quicker variant of the 308/309.
If you can answer yes to at least two of those questions, then you may have a point.
If you can't answer yes to more than one of those questions, then I declare the whole Coast Road discussion null and void
