They initially took it out as they replaced that part with the X8 & X9.

However, they were both scaled back and having an 'exact' combined 7-8 minute service on the Coast Road only was overkill. 

But a combined 10 minute service between Billy Mill and Newcastle with both services on the Coast Road via Holy Cross / St Peter's wouldn't be overkill as such.

The 306 is an oddball in Battle Hill given that GNE have 9x buses per hour to Newcastle now.
