You keep posting about this like it's a certainty, realistically how much would PVR actually reduce by? 

The Blyth express services are already half hourly, and for the most part serve other purposes than the train. 

Maybe the X21/22, but even if they're reduced to every 30 mins you're only reducing PVR by about 4? 

The following services will have zero impact at all:

1, 2, 35, 43, 44, 45, 47, 57/A, 306, 308, 434, 553, X14, X15, X16, X18. 

You'd argue minimal impact on: 
X7, X8, X20, X22. 

So there's only really the X9, X10/11, and X21 where there is potential for a noticeable impact? Even that's very debatable given how strong those currently are, and the new fares that have been introduced.
