If that was the case, Arriva wouldn't have any capacity issues with the 306/308 running every 20 mins each and the 306 pulled out of Battle Hill.
That alone would save a PVR of 4x and based on 3 cycles per bus between 6am and 6-7pm, (BLY > NCL > TYN/WB > NCL > BLY) would free around 12 drivers if not a few more.
Surely any agreement will cover the full route from Blyth to Newcastle - 10 minute combined frequency 308/309 Blyth - NT Hospital
