It would make sense for 67/69 to be ran with the same operator. As with 82/82A services, for passenger ticketing and ease.
I don't think it should be GNE for the total disregard for anything except making money (never mind dictating to drivers and passengers of whats best)

- 309 - unchanged but every 15 to W.Bay then every 30 to Blyth.
- 310 - unchanged but every 30 mins.
- 311 - Same route to Hadrian Park then old 305 route to Ridley Avenue then same as number 1 to Whitley Bay.
- 317 - Same as current to Wallsend then same as number 1 to Gateshead Metro.
I was soo glad when GNE didn't win the contract for principal and it was their LONG failed services 17/17A, 11 (Blue Arrow), 11 (Little Coasters).
I was over the moon even SNE won the contract. As there is actually a stable operation of bus services between Willington Quay/Tyne Tunnel - Royal Quays - North Shields for once with the 10/11 & 317 (albeit secured).
