(21 Dec 2019, 8:17 am)L469 YVK wrote Well, I spoke with a driver yesterday (who may have been wrong) but I got told that the 310 / 311 will be every 20 minutes each with the 310 route remaining the same and the 311 just running between Hadrian Park and Newcastle presumably via High Farm. The 309 will remain unchanged. So if the driver was right, here is what it could look like......
PVR: 9x
North Shields (310): 00:00
Newcastle (310): 00:47
Newcastle (311): 00:56
Hadrian Park (311): 01:22
Hadrian Park (311): 01:25
Newcastle (311): 01:57
Newcastle (310): 02:06
North Shields (310): 02:49
So working it out, Battle Hill currently has 11x GNE services per hour to Newcastle but if the above is correct, it will have 10x GNE services per hour to Newcastle with a PVR reduction of 1x. The only other thing I could think off is GNE re-routing the 309 back via the Silverlink and Willington Square / St Peter's to target more customers from the 22 and 308 but would be unlikely as that would leave Battle Hill without a service to the main part of Cobalt Business Park.
Interesting, PVR for the 309 would remain at 7, and the above 9, meaning a PVR of 16, but may add the branded 17th one in for timing, like they do with the 56, can't see them repainting one.
Percy Main are also waiting for 6099 to transfer over too, as a spare, so the spares will remain as 2.
