This was good while it lasted
There's never been less than a 7-8 minute core service either joint (including in this case) or by a single operator along the Coast Road.
Yes there's cost challenges - but this was an opportunity for all parties to work together and think outside the box - restructuring routes and making change for the better!
Arriva have the advantage of Blyth depot - GNE have the advantage of Percy Main depot and to an extent, a depot at the Newcastle end of the route (Riverside). Queue the church bells & tumbleweed with Kim's PR stunts and never ending pledge to franchise.
Major let down from all involved.
