There's not than many houses along the Coast Road to warrant a six minute bus service (ignoring the 22, 51, 52, 306, 308, 38 which all hover around) if the outer legs are dead. Even the busiest Stagecoach services and the 21 aren't that frequent.It's only the evening 311 journeys being binned off with the 310 serving Hadrian Park during the evenings? Which to be honest is a sensible choice and I would even go further with some 310 journeys before 7am Monday-Friday and 8.30am on Saturdays and 9.30am on Sundays serving Hadrian Park towards Newcastle.
In fairness we haven't seen the changes yet for all we know the 30 drivers could partially be coming from the 311 being binned off at the same time. 30 drivers seem quite a lot from the 11, half the 41 and 42 and 42A, 6 days a week 6am - 6pm roughly. We'll have to wait though.
Re-routing the 310 via Hadrian Park during the day would only save a PVR of 2x.
