Service suggestions for 58, 309 and 310.
- Service 58 would operate between Eldon Square and Heworth every 7-8 minutes (15 evenings and Sundays).
- Service 305 would replace service 58 between Newcastle and Hadrian Park. Buses would operate every 20 minutes from Hadrian Park and would run via the 310 route between Battle Hill drive and Newcastle Haymarket. Evening journeys would operate every 60 minutes with Sunday daytime journeys provided by service 310.
- Service 309 would be increased to operate every 10 minutes between Blyth and Newcastle. Buses would serve Union Street and Plessey Road rather than Broadway and Renwick Road. Evening and Sunday buses would operate every 30 minutes. Increasing the 309 to every 10 minutes would prove very popular to passengers on the coast offering a frequent and modern bus service to and from Newcastle City Centre despite the few minutes extra journey time compared to Arriva's service 308. The few extras too such as free Wi-Fi, more capacity, power sockets and more powerful buses would make service 309 a more attractive option than service 308 too.
- A PVR of 11 of the new double deck vehicles would be required for service 309 with a further PVR of 6 double deck vehicles required for service 310 making the total to 17. Service 305 would require a PVR of 3/4 single deck vehicles and these would come from the Citaro's from the Cobalt Clipper. Service 305 would receive the Centurion brand with service 17 gaining the Northern Brand.
- Service 310 would operate as now during Monday to Saturday daytime but would now operate every 20 minutes. Evening and Sunday journeys would also serve Hadrian Park. Evening buses would run hourly with Sunday daytime buses operating half hourly.
