A round trip on the Q2 takes 37 minutes, although I think that a few minutes could also be added. On a 15 minute frequency, rather than 10, the PVR could be reduced from 4 to 3.
Not sure where two Versas could go? Possibly a spare for 'The Orbit' and 'South Tyne'?
Having another Versa for the South Tyne would be good.
At least then, Saturdays and school holidays could see a full branded allocation opposed to one Scania and the rest branded (required Mon-Fri for the scholar contract requirement).
