I'm back in work tomorrow so will give an update on loadings on the 309 in the coming days given I work on the Cobalt.
I suspect Arriva will probably end up doing the following:
- 306 & 308 reduced to every 20 mins each
- 306 pulled from Battle Hill Drive creating a simple 10 min frequency between Billy Mill and Newcastle
- Evening services reduced to hourly on both services (with them interworking and 308 getting more running time during the evenings)
- Section of 306 withdrawn between Tynemouth and Whitley Bay with 51A extended to Marden Estate via West Allotment, New York and Rake Lane
- X6 withdrawn
