The PVR shouldn't be too different when you account for the 11 duplicating part of the route atm giving 5 buses between Howdon and Wallsend so it's a small decrease there, plus the 1 bus less between Howdon and Shields on the current 1A/1B but it's partially covered by the new 311. Capacity wise it should be about the same though as it's just gone from DD to Singles.
The 311 doesn't seem to be interworking atm bar a few morning journeys so should be possible in theory to split it off vehicle wise, I'd keep it part of it though just to keep it combined on the Coast Road. Not sure whether it's possible to get the morning ones working though - https://bustimes.org/vehicles/138307?date=2021-05-25 see what I mean there.
Yeah, I do see what you mean. It would be a tricky one to figure out.
