Newcastle to Cobalt – 24 Minutes
Cobalt to Cramlington – 32 Minutes
Total = 56 Minutes
The Competition – Journey Times Between Newcastle and Cramlington
Arriva 43 = 37 Minutes
Arriva 52 = 56 Minutes
Arriva X5 = 72 Minutes
Arriva X10/X11 = 53 Minutes
Arriva X13 = 55 Minutes
I think a wise move would be to go Head2Head with the Arriva 52, but on an Increased Frequency of Every 20 Minutes as Stated Above

(09 Jan 2014, 10:47 am)andreos1 wrote Although the pvr would increase (or frequency would drop), it would make sense (in my mind anyway) to extend the q2 from St Peters up to Byker - even if it was just at certain times of the day.
Surprised there hasn't been a loud voice from inside the Civic Centre making representations.
(09 Jan 2014, 10:50 am)aureolin wrote It'd make little sense as the Q2 covers a route that Metro doesn't. Byker to City Centre already has a high frequency of services combined, not to mention the Metro.

Seems a bit OTT
