Northumberland aswell might aswell add it in. Seems like everything from GNE other than the 10 is subsidised (even the 309).

I think that 309 was subsidised starting back in 2013 when GNE tried withdrawing a journey that got workers into Cobalt before 7am. It was momths before the Mercs/Omnis were replaced with B9TLs.

To be fair, GNE have been fairly generous with journeys to and from Blyth since 2016 although not running quite as early / late as Arriva but still better than previously.
