(Multi Operator) - North Tyneside & Coast Road Clean Up Suggestion

Would it not more likely be like..........

- 308 - 309 - 306 - 310

That would leave an uneven headway between Billy Mill and Willington Square. Even if the 309 ran 5 mins behind the 308, that would at least even out between Rake Lane and Blyth with the 309 taking a little extra time via High Farm, Battle Hill and Cobalt.

I reckon it would most likely go:
- 306 as now but omits Battle Hill Drive (every 20 minutes)
- 308 as now (every 20 minutes)
- 309 as now but via High Farm (every 20 minutes)
- 310 as now (every 20 minutes)
- 311 withdrawn

As far as the 310 stands and based on the 309 also running via High Farm, two options could be available...........

Option 1.) Additionally serve Hadrian Park - directly replaces the 311.
Option 2.) Omit Hadrian Park as now but operate via Hadrian Lodge & Wiltshire Drive to replace the 51. Whitley Bay to Holystone bolted onto the 55, Hadrian Park served by 22 every 20 minutes with the other still serving Silverlink & Cobalt every 20 minutes.
