Also with say an X309 (308) how would you know which one is faster.

Because they'd get a monopoly of Battle Hill so they'd gain from it, the 306 currently goes through being petty there at the same time. They pretty much are the slow services anyway though.

The 306 is 10 minutes quicker than the 310 and 308 is 2 minutes quicker but it feels much quicker than that as it doesn't trundle around Cobalt and Battle Hill, not to mention it would be an even timetable as the 309 goes direct skipping High Farm so it's a bizarre 3 / 7 / 10 timetable through Battle Hill which is less than ideal.

Hadrian Park is a pain in the arse as it's not busy but whatever route goes through there is a nuisance and there's no need for the 311 as it just overbuses Newcastle to Station Road. I agree the 310 is a big no no though so the 309 is the next best target as they have the 308.
