Or more! Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest IMO if Arriva went all out (at the expense of other areas / services) to protect the Coast Road corridor - especially with GNE breaking partnership.
If Arriva re-route the 308 via Battle Hill Drive forming a clean 7-8 minute Billy Mill to Newcastle service with the 306/308, GNE's Percy Main operation will be all but gone and the 307/309 will be lucky to be commercially viable using StreetLites on a reduced frequency.
