I'll be a little more explicit than before...
Providing the two gents I overheard were correct, then the frequency will be every 30 minutes from Whitley Bay to Benton ASDA (as opposed to current 20 minute frequency), and hourly from Benton ASDA to Cramlington (as present). I assume there will be some increased layover time to stamp out any reliability issues that there may be, too.
I'm not too sure why the Northumberland timetable only lists the hourly extensions to Cramlington...
