Plus the 309 does carry an 'okayish' load during the evenings as does the 310. The extra few minutes through Hadrian Park on the 310 at a night time when the roads are quiet isn't a big deal.
But, Arriva on the otherhand could look to amend the 53 to additionally serve Northumberland Park during the evenings perhaps?
Probably wouldn't make too much sense that, you'd have passed Shiremoor and be well on your way to wherever by the time to bus gets anywhere near Northumberland Park and Shiremoor is on the boundary of Zone B/C so there's no price difference.
It's probably the main reason why they've pushed for it to run through there in the evening anyway.
