I'd be glad for an hourly service when there's plenty of places similar to Hadrian Park which are awkward loops which aren't exactly picking up hundreds of passengers like Eighton Banks which have no service at all.

The rest is irrational ie moving the service back 30 minutes, people would just have to wait 50 minutes to go to Newcastle instead... Not that I can imagine there's exactly many (if any) of people going to Seaton Sluice and Blyth, the 54 covering to Whitley at 29 mins past.

Hadrian Park definitely doesn't need a half hourly service during the evenings. But pre Jan 2020 (before the 311), this is what operated:

309 ex Newcastle:
19:45, 20:45, 21:45, 22:50 (last one W.Bay only)

310 ex Newcastle:
20:15, 21:15, 22:20, 23:20
* Last 3 via Hadrian Park when 57 was Wardley to NCL only after 20:30

309 ex Blyth:
19:40, 20:40, 21:47
Cobalt @ 20:16, 21:16, 22:21

310 ex North Shields:
19:30, 20:30, 21:30, 22:30, 23:30
* Both 21:30 and 22:30 via Hadrian Park, 23:30 to Norham Road only


To sort it out, this is all GNE need to do:

309 ex Newcastle:
19:49, 20:49, 21:55*, 22:55*
* to W.Bay Cemetery only

310 ex Newcastle:
19:25, 20:22, 21:22, 22:25, 23:30*
* to Norham Road / Verne Road only

309 ex Blyth:
19:39, 20:50, 22:40*
* from W.Bay Cemetery only

310 ex North Shields:
19:29, 20:29, 21:29, 22:06*, 23:11**
* Operates via A191 New York Road and Cobalt Park, omits Hadrian Park and High Farm
* * To Norham Road only
