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.

If the PVR of the 309 standalone on a 20 minute frequency was 7x, it would be like whacky races and I'm sure the Traffic Commissioner would have some choice words to say. If the 309 remains standalone, it would be a PVR of 8x but from what I can see, the most likely option will be to interwork it with service 310 (meaning a PVR of 13x) and keep the 311 standalone. Although the 309 / 310 going standalone since March has improved reliability, the cost implications have been quite significant. The 311 going standalone however shouldn't have too many cost implications as the PVR will only be 3x vehicles and it would most likely be a straight 4 hour driving stint at most.

I think Stanleyone meant another service. The Cobalt & Coast services will be keeping the B9TLs (as shown with 6110 now showing 311 on the black tagline).
