They could do that but bearing in mind that Arriva have a strong coridoor between Billy Mill / Willington Square including St Peters & Holy Cross for the 308, the revenue gained between Station Road / Newcastle is like the icing on the cake of the revenue gained in their monopoly areas. Arriva may well time them to sit bang in the middle or at worst, in front. But at GNEs advantage, GNE 'could' fill in the gap of an express service with some double deckers (or single deckers) either sourced from within GNE or with more cascades from B&H if any available.
