Just saw 309 changes on NCC. No journeys cut but GNE could easily fill those B9s up more if they did the following:
- Retime all Monday to Saturday 309 / 310 journeys to ensure that they arrive 2 minutes before Arriva at Haymarket and 2 minutes after for the most part of the day.
- Retime all evening journeys to arrive at 02, 17, 32, 47 and depart at 05, 20, 35, 50. This would mean a frequency increase for both services to every 30 minutes during the evenings.
- Retime all Sunday daytime journeys to arrive at 11, 26, 41, 56 and depart at the same times past and to the hour as the evening journeys.
- Make the last 309 to Blyth 2220 and the last 309 (310 on a Sunday Night) at 2320 and last 310 (not on a Sunday Night) at 2335.
- Split the 309 and 310 / X39 at all times bar a Sunday daytime and bring a B7 over from Riverside as a spare or 6100 if reliability improves on the Fab 56.
