I wonder whether or not the evening frequency would remain as it is now for the 309 & 310 or with the Coast Road services being streamlined, maybe a frequency increase of every 15 minutes (30 on each route) could be on the cards. Worked it out that if the evening 57 is interworked with the 58, the total combined PVR for the 57/58/309/310 with a frequency increase on the 309/310 would stand at 11 vehicles only meaning an increase of 2x. The timings would be something like the following with the 309 still being compliant for shift times at the Cobalt:
North Shields Dep (310): 19:30 & 20:00
Newcastle Arr (310): 20:18 & 20:48
Newcastle Dep (309): 20:23 & 20:53
Blyth Arr (309): 21:21 & 21:51
Blyth Dep (309): 21:30 & 22:00 (arriving at Cobalt P&G for 22:07 & 22:37, extra running time added in too)
Newcastle Arr (309): 22:33 & 23:03
Newcastle Dep (310): 22:38 & 23:08
North Shields Arr (310): 23:25 & 00:05
