309 from 31/08 between 16:00 and 17:00 from Newcastle to Blyth:
- 10, 25, 40 and 46
308 between 16:00 and 17:00 from Newcastle to Blyth:
- 08, 28 and 48.
And then look at the combined services from GNE opposed to Arriva ensuring that all services are equal to ensure that one or the other doesn't get a massive influx:
Arriva: 00 (306), 08 (308), 15 (306) then 13 minutes later, 28 (308), 35 (306) then 13 minutes later 48 (308), 55 (306).
GNE: 02 (310), 10 (309), 17 (310), 25 (309), 32 (310), 40 (309), 48 (310), 56 (309).
And between 1645-1800 when the majority of people are going home there is 308s at 1648, 1703, 1718, 1733 and 1748, every 15 minutes. While the 309s are at 1656, 1711, 1726, 1742, 1758 (WBay only)
I don't think there is much of a point to be proven.
