(01 Jan 2022, 2:17 pm)L469 YVK wrote Off the cuff but not as part of a proper suggestion timetable. The suggestion timetable also includes a change of interworking pattern meaning the 311 will carry more passengers towards Newcastle, running infront of the 310.
The xx:05 evening departures would clean up passengers especially on Friday & Saturday evenings and I doubt Arriva would move the 308 to between xx:00 and xx:04 especially on an hourly service.
The 11.35pm 310 ex Newcastle would also cleanup some of the passengers who'd normally get the 11.42pm 306.
I don't know whether you've been in a coma for the past few months but times are changing and it's not about petty competitions and working together.
What benefit is there for a customer having a bus to North Shields at XX:35 then XX:42 then nothing for 53 minutes.
If someone needs a bus at 10:50 for whatever reason they're not going to be waiting around until xx.35 even knowing people going to North Shields would be using the Metro anyway but that's another discussion since it's twice as quick and every 15 minutes.
