- 10 remains the same, PVR remains the same (6 B9TLs).
- 10a increased to every 15 minutes (30 evenings, still 30 on Sundays) but changed to single decks.
- 10b remains the same, PVR would remain the same (4 B9TLs).
This would then form a 7/8 minute frequency between Crawcrook and Newcastle allowing the TEN to rattle the 100. Don't know how the evening boards would work out though but that is one way which GNE could get one back on Stagecoach.
Always makes me laugh when this one comes up. The vast majority of service 100 users already have a Stagecoach pass or a dayticket who would not use a Go North East service even if they ran every 10 seconds!!
