307 and 309 seem to be carrying a lot of extra passengers recently due to the large number of journeys on Arriva 306/308 that are cancelled. Extra passengers generally results in late running.
Arriva performance on the coast road isn’t good even when they are running. 

Currently roadworks at the Battle Hill Drive / Kings Road Junction which could be having an impact on performance.

Normally unless the Coast Road Retail Park & Tesco are busy or on a matchday, the 307 should be and is normally ok.

It's the 309 which is struggling not only owing to serving High Farm, but congestion issues around the Coast, Hillheads, Foxhunters and Chirton Grange.
