45 - 12:01pm
46 - 12:21pm
45 - 12:31pm
46- 12:51pm
45 - 13:01pm
The 47 has being worked so they provide a 10 minute service between Rowlands Gill, Metrocentre and Newcastle...
If you look at it from a drivers point of view its not, in the morning you might do 2 round trips in the mornings i.e 45 con-ncl / 46 ncl-con-ncl / 45 ncl-con then break, however if your 10 mins late on the return to consett the next driver will be late out and the run is hard to get back on time, so by putting in the extra bus this keeps the service on time. Also is the V3/V4 timed to have a 10min frequency towards shotley bridge?
