Out of the extra 5 mins layover:
- Extra 2 mins in Consett giving 7 mins layover instead of 5 mins
- Extra 3 mins in Newcastle giving 10 mins layover rather than 7 mins.
Obviously that could be jigged around as needed.
Don't forget, if 1x cycle with the same duty runs late, the next cycle will also run late. A frequency reduction should sort that.
