IMO, given they're already operating at a PVR of around 15x + the separate misc workings on the X39, they'd better off doing the following given that North Shields doesn't warrant a 20 minute service and neither does Blyth.
309:
- Every 15 mins Newcastle to Whitley Bay Town Centre
- Continues every 30 mins to Blyth
307:
- Every 15 mins Newcastle to Hadrian Park
- Continues every 30 mins to North Shields
The PVR would be 16x and interworking as:
- Short 309 > Full 307 > Full 307 > Short 309
- Full 309 > Short 307 > Short 307 > Full 309
Layover times also generous in Blyth, Whitley Bay and North Shields, and potential scope to reduce reliance on misc workings for the X39.
Nice clean 7-8 minute service - and could curtail Saturday AM short 309's at Cobalt to save PVR slightly.
