It may only be 10-15 mins quicker but those types of commuters won’t entertain it, they just won’t come back. I know this from managing thousands of them. It’s yet more commercial nonsense from them
The 309 has become chronically unreliable. The sooner a regional ticket comes in the better, then at least the 22X which has become reliable is an option
I never understood why the X39 doesn't run all day tbh. It's crazy arguably the only destination going against the main peak flow has to take a magical mystery tour around the world unless they happen to the hit 3 specific boards.
The 308/309 should be swapped around with the 308 via Battle Hill and the 309 going direct along the Coast Road, Non-stop after Wallsend Dene towards Newcastle. No-one would lose out bar Lynn Road imo.
Obviously the partnership is a farce though and Arriva would never agree with that.
