I don't know if GNE now run the 317 commercially, but the 350/351 could be an attractive proposition if GNE took these on commercially and have options to interwork them with something either end of the route.
The 317 and 342 are both mostly commercial. Evening journeys after 7pm are subsidised I believe.
