Can't comment on what the equivalent is with the 308 right now, but I'm sure someone will fire up the app to check.
Only pitfalls I have with the 309 / 310 is these:
- Docking the 309 between Blyth and Cobalt and 310 between Norham Road and Newcastle for X39 and extra 309's instead of using other vehicles.
- Only run every 60 minutes during the evening when if they were timed to arrive / leave at 01/03 (310), 16/19 (309), 31/34 (310), 46/49(309), they'd certainly be profitable enough to run a half hourly evening service running 9 mins after and 6 mins before the next Arriva service. *Note that the 309 has to run at them times due to Cobalt shift patterns.
- 309 somehow has a last journey to Blyth at 20:45 Monday to Friday yet, has a 21:45 journey on a Saturday?
- Silly 90 minute gap late on a Sunday evening on the 309 Newcastle bound inter-working with the 23:15 310.
Otherwise, great services!
