Making one of the express routes every hour is unacceptable and would be counter productive, the Coast Road due to the partnership is a no go and the 43/44/45 would be complicated because of the subsidised 43 extensions.

Wouldn't be a massive deal if the 306 & 308 were dropped to every 30 mins. Yes would be a pain losing the common headways, but would still be at least a bus every 10 mins which outside the peaks, is more than adequate.

Also, if GNE's driver issues have subsided at Percy Main, could GNE not be subcontracted the evening 306 journeys similar to when they took some 51/351 journeys on during covid?
