The 309/310/311 service group appears to have a welcome addition on an evening of a 311 at xx:00 from Newcastle, plugging the current 40 minute gap between the 310 at xx:40 and the 309 at xx:20 - The 310 still serves Hadrian Park on an evening.
For Haymarket - Station Road, Arriva would still be a more favourable option - Same number of buses per hour as GNE, although at a lower fare.
