So probably not a suggestion that everyone will agree with fully or in parts. But based on the current commercial operations and not franchising, would reduce overbusing in some areas whilst improving links to new & emerging areas. All services would be fully commercial with BSIP supporting some sections (i.e parts of the existing 351). Arriva Northumbria would operate all Blyth services with Go North East picking up the rest. A PVR reduction for Arriva but would reduce dead mileage and would make more sense with Arriva also having a depot in Blyth. All journeys would need double deck operated especially where frequency has been reduced in some areas.

New core frequencies (Mon-Sat/Eve/Sun)
Newcastle > Station Road (5/10/6-7)
Newcastle > Hadrian Lodge (15/30/20)
Newcastle > Battle Hill (15/30/20)
Newcastle > Cobalt (15/30/20)
Newcastle > Billy Mill (15/30/20)
Newcastle > Billy Mill fast (30/N.A/60)
Chirton Grange > Blyth (15/30/30)

Note that some combined frequencies such as between Chirton Grange and Blyth would not be exactly clockface although 'even'. Hadrian Lodge also makes reference to both the stops on Mullen Road & Station Road, so the combined frequency would be to/from different stops.

New routes & frequencies (M-Sat/Eve/Sun)
* 305 (30/60/60) Newcastle - Coast Road - Wiltshire Drive - Hadrian Lodge / Mullen Road - Battle Hill Drive - Hadrian Park

* 306 (T.Mouth 15/60/20) (W.Bay 30/N.A/N.A) Newcastle - Coast Road - Billy Mill - North Shields - Tynemouth - Preston Grange Morrisons - Marden Estate - Whitley Bay

* 307 (H.Stone 30/60/20-40) (W.Bay 60/N.A/60) Newcastle - Coast Road - Hadrian Lodge / Station Road North - Benton Asda - Holystone Park - Holystone - West Allotment - Shiremoor - Earsdon - Beaumont Park - Whitley Lodge - Whitley Bay

* 308 (N.A/60/N.A) Same as now

* X38 (30/N.A/60) Same as current 308 but non-stop between St Mary's Place and Willington Square eastern side slip roads. Tynemet / Gibson Street slip roads not served to afford a possible non-stop diversion should it be required.

X38 would also be timed to connect to / from 306 with through fares available should passengers still require stops along the Coast Road for any reason.

* 309 (30/60/60) Same as now but not via High Farm

* 310 (30/60/20-40) Newcastle - Coast Road - Battle Hill Drive - Cobalt Park - New York Road - Norham Road - Verne Road - Meadow Well - North Shields
