RE: Go North East - Latest
I'm very surprised at how busy the double deckers are on the 309. GNE have thought it through well and they're starting to get more passengers between Newcastle and Rake Lane - W.Bay / Blyth. A good investment all around. Hopefully, if both services continue to grow as they are now, I see more evening journeys on the cards for both and more journeys to Blyth on the 309. Even with the 310, people used to walk either from near Verne Road or North of Formica to the Coast Road for the 306 / 308. Now, more people are even using the 310 partly down to both the new double deckers and the route / frequency change as opposed to the 300 / 315 and 316.
