Would be something like the following
309:
- Every 15 mins Newcastle to Cobalt & Whitley Bay Town Centre
- Every 30 mins to Blyth - which is sensible
307:
- Every 15 mins Newcastle to Hadrian Park
- Every 30 mins to North Shields - which is sensible given the decline in North Shields and this being the weaker section
Gives a 7-8 minute service between Battle Hill Drive and Newcastle via High Farm.
Might no doubt do it sooner once some vehicles freed up. I doubt Arriva would do anything as such now. They've got their strongholds and also the clear time advantage over the 309 to capitalise on.
