Before covid, it was:
- 306/308 - 4x PH Newcastle - Billy Mill
- 309/310/311 - 3x PH Newcastle - Cobalt South
Now only 4x buses per hour and the last 309 of the evening after the Leicester match left St Mary's Place full. Now after 11pm, a 75-80% load would be acceptable but services leaving full and risking leaving passengers out of pocket with a taxi fare if unable to get on is unacceptable.
Should be at least a 10 minute frequency (or 6x buses per hour) between Newcastle and Station Road on match nights after full time
The last couple of times when there has been a midweek evening match Arriva operated a couple of duplicates on the 306.
