306 - Every 20 minutes, additionally serving Verne Road and not serving Selby Gardens, direct along the A1058 avoiding Benfield Road to speed up journeys.
308 - Every 20 minutes, same quicker journey on the Coast Road
309 - Every 20 minutes, current route
310 - Every 20 minutes, same route as 309 to Cobalt then current route.
50 - Every 30 minutes, old 305 - https://www.northeastbuses.co.uk/bygone/...th1997.jpg
51/51A - Every 30 minutes, current route.
11 - Every 30 minutes, via Rose Hill extended to Battle Hill to replace the other half of the 41.
Nice clean 10 minutes service to Battle Hill and 10 minute service direct along the Coast Road which is quicker for further to reach places and because of the timing differences should merge roughly together to be every 10 minutes between Rake Lane and Blyth with no-one being punished going around the world. I'd love to see the numbers changed aswell. 46 - 49 possibly but obviously there's a conflict with the 47 or alternatively 6 - 9 but then there's conflicts with the X8 and 9.
Then the 50/51 ran with mini buses can pick up all the little estates instead of punishing the core routes.
41/41A=stays the same
42/42A=stays the same
11 could become the 43
19 could be the 44 but not part of the Little Coasters
Then the coast road services could stay the same with the '3' prefix to identify them as the coast road services,dont know what you'd do with the 51/51A,maybe revert it back to the 307
