The 57 sits on top of the others at the moment, so providing an even headway on 309, 310 and 311 should spread Coast Road customers out between buses a bit better.
Not sure I’d agree with the comments suggesting that each and every bus is full. If anything, I’d say most buses on the Coast Road are lightly loaded because between Arriva and Go North East, both operators have flooded the market.

Proves that the passenger numbers are low anyway, as they're cutting the 57, so it terminates at Newcastle and not Hadrian Park.
So every bus will every 20 minutes (combined every 5/6 mins)
Edit: Typo!
PVR's for the Cobalt and Coast on a 20 minute frequency would be:
309: 7 PVR
310: 5 PVR
311: 3 PVR
15 PVR, however, there's 17 branded buses, so can't seem them repainting 2 already.
