RE: Go North East: Upcoming Service Changes
How has Riverside / Hexham coped with 1 B9 short? It would be nice to get a Gemini spare at Percy Main but at the same time, the 309 / 310 aren't as demanding as the TEN and TTX services. However, if for competition and punctuality reasons GNE decided with the exception of a Sunday daytime to split the 309 (meaning no more being cut short to half hourly PM towards Newcastle between Blyth and Cobalt) and 310/X39 (no more half hourly filler PM 309's between Cobalt and Newcastle), then Percy Main would be without a spare due to the PVR being 10 (309) and 7 (310/X39).
