Ok, here's the timetable. Not going to do one for the rest but a few points to make:
- Most 303 / 304 journeys would operate in front of the 306 / 308.
- 303 would pick up any passengers from Billy Mill who either missed the 308 or still waiting for a late one.
- Most journeys would combine at an even 7-8 minutes (15 minutes evenings and Sundays) frequency rather than every 5-10 minutes.
- More late night journeys added where warranted than what Arriva offer.
- More early Sunday morning journeys than Arriva.
- More journeys from Newcastle between 1900 and 1930 than Arriva.
- Quicker journey times than the 306.
- 304 would only take 1 minutes longer (with the exception to make the service reliable and on time) than the 308 towards Blyth. This would also allow for a driver changeover at Formica. The 303 would change at Christ Church in North Shields.
- 304 would pick up passengers north of the Coast Road and passengers who would normally catch the 310 or walk over the Coast Road for the 306 / 308.
- By looking at the current fare structure, the fares from Norham Road would be £1.50 to Holy Cross, £2 to Benfield Road and £2.75 beyond there. Savers and Buzzfares would also be in place to offer better value than Arriva.
