Looks like both services are returning - but I can't even remember what they were before the pandemic.

Any idea of what changes are happening to the 309/310/311? Will frequencies remain the same?
If so, will PVR return to pre March 2020 (16x) and one of the following interworking patterns?
- 310-311-309-310
Or
- 309-311-309 with 310 standalone
Loadings look fairly healthy given the current climate to be fair from when I've seen them out and about
(27 Jun 2021, 7:29 pm)L469 YVK Any idea of what changes are happening to the 309/310/311? Will frequencies remain the same?Could the changes be due to the fact Sage are moving into 2 buildings on the Cobalt in the coming months resulting in higher demand for services.

(27 Jun 2021, 9:25 pm)Malarkey Could the changes be due to the fact Sage are moving into 2 buildings on the Cobalt in the coming months resulting in higher demand for services.Arriva did later services on X6 to about 18:00 I believe but they got pulled due to low demand and I think the whole service is pulled now, did seem an odd one with nothing going through, only other arriva service I remember the 53 used to go through cobalt at peaks and seemed to be fairly popular but think when the 42/42A began it kind of knocked them out a bit 42 following a similar route
I recall 2 years ago when I started working on the Cobalt the 309 was every 15 minutes then dropped to every 20 minutes then to every 30 minutes when the 311 was introduced.
I would personally like to see more peak time X39 journeys beyond 5pm with extra services running at 17:40/18:10/18:40 into Newcastle or alternatively have X39/309 merge making a full-time xpress between Blyth, Whitley, Cobalt & Newcastle with 311 extending from Hadrian Park up to the Cobalt covering local links lost from the 309.
You'd then have 310/311 Every 15 Minutes and the X39 Every 30 Minutes Monday to Saturday with the 311 extended from Cobalt to Blyth on a Sunday operating Every 30 Minutes with the 310 still operating Every 30 Minutes on a Sunday.
