More people in the Blyth area will end up using the Northumberland line to Northumberland Park and then the 19. Assuming the buses will link with the train

Not sure about that personally, where the 309 serves in Blyth is nowhere near the train so it would be a heck of a trip and the 19 is infrequent as hell.

Truth be told though, if you wanted to go really gung-ho and think all about the £££ and not really give a toss about connections etc. You could easily cut it short at New York, never mind Whitley. It would be unpopular

ie. something like the attachment below, if you wanted to merge it into one route aswell with the 307 but I don't really expect them to do that tbh. It seems to be the peaks which are the issue and unless they cut the timetable then they need to increase the PVR as the timetable is allover the place. The 306/308 being as bad lately.
