Don't know if the PVR would change from 15, mind...
Well by the looks of things, the only thing that's changing on the Cobalt Clippers is the frequency between Blyth and Whitley Bay going up otherwise, everything will remain the same and according to the bottom of the NCC timetable with other journeys outside of Northumberland also being operated, they'll be published by GNE and Nexus.
The 310 will continue to operate upto every 15 minutes and despite the fact that the loads aren't warranted for a double deck between North Shields and Battle Hill, it gets a pretty good load between High Farm and Newcastle and remember that the 310 has to run 6 minutes behind the 309 between Cobalt South and Battle Hill due to the fact that it goes via High Farm.
Frequencies from 31/08:
- 309 between Blyth and Newcastle operating every 15 minutes (60 evenings and 30 Sunday daytime) with a PVR of 10 / 11.
- 310 operating between North Shields and Newcastle every 15 minutes (25-35 to Cobalt South during the evenings, 60 to Newcastle during the evenings and 30 during Sunday daytime) with a PVR of 6.
- 309 / 310 operating between Cobalt South and Battle Hill to Newcastle every 6-9 minutes (29-31 evenings and 13-17 during Sunday daytime).
- 309 / 310 operating between Station Road slip road and Newcastle every 7-8 minutes (30 evenings and 15 during Sunday daytime).
