(09 Feb 2024, 6:26 pm)MurdnunoC I heard everything is getting merged into one large service like this:X39 asides, it's not the first of April yet!
Cramlington - Blyth - Whitley Bay - Cullercoats - Tynemouth - North Shields - Billy Mill International - Rake Lane Hospital - Cobalt - Silverlink- Percy Main - Howdon - Hadrian Park - Wallsend - Byker - Newcastle- Gateshead - Lobley Hill - Whickham - Metrocentre - Denton Burn - Throckley - Heddon - Wylam - Ovingham - Ovington - Corbridge - Hexham - Newbrough.
Every 20 mins.
X39 will have some extra journeys added.

Another thought......if more time is needed on the 309 due to NT Council's s*** traffic management plus a 20 minute frequency via High Farm being enough with deckers on the 307, would a re-route of daytime 309 services via Selby Gardens not be on the cards? Some early morning and all evening services could still run via High Farm to give a regular 30 minute service like now.

(11 Feb 2024, 6:33 pm)Aaron21 Probably wanted to make it every 10 minute along Mullen Road (for whatever reason) since Mullen Road now has the 41/41A/335/307/309 all going along it to Battle HillI think a 20 minute service using deckers should be sufficient with the 307 alone. But the traffic situation is only going to get worse around Whitley Bay and Preston Grange.

Interested to see the X39 changes, wonder if it’ll be a response to the 22X nicking most of the custom
Well working out the 308 & 309, the 309 dropping High Farm would save 2 minutes in each direction. So would create an 8/12 split between the 308 & 309 between NT Hospital & Blyth although still some even headway. Then for the time saved not serving High Farm, could then re-time the 308 & 309
308 / 309
Blyth: 09:51 / 10:03
Whitley Bay Cemetery: 10:07 / 10:19
Whiltley Bay Centre: 10:19 / 10:31 (+2 mins)
NT Hospital: 10:27 / 10:39 (+1 min)
New York Greenlea (309): 10:44 (+2 mins)
Billy Mill (308): 10:36 (+2 mins)
Newcastle: 11:03 / 11:18
308 would have 5 minutes layover in Blyth and 309 would have 7 minutes.

Go north east and Arriva have entered into an enhanced partnership agreement. So are services likely to change significantly

(12 Feb 2024, 2:11 pm)L469 YVK Well not significantly, but both GNE & Arriva are going to need to find the time from somewhere with the ever increasing congestion levels around Whitley Bay, Foxhunters and Preston Grange.

(12 Feb 2024, 8:37 pm)RobinHood Why should they? The continual slowing of bus services due to poorly planned developments increasing congestion should not be the responsibly of the bus operator to resolve, nor should it be the passenger penalised.
The local authorities need to provide major and significantly beneficial bus priority.
However, as we all know, promoting the bus over the car and throwing money that goes against the private motorist isn't a vote winner, so nobody will do it and we end up with slow public transport and frequency reductions to permit reinvestment of running time.

(12 Feb 2024, 8:41 pm)Storx You're so right, the ironic part of it all, is the congestion is being caused by cycle lanes being stuck in everywhere, in completely inappropiate places. I'm all for cycle lanes but not at the cost of public transport and it's not the first time either.308 far cry from the days when the driver could rock up to the awaiting Leyland / Volvo Olympian, Scania N113, Lowlander......then give it the beans with no traffic calming measures!
