I wouldn't expect GNE to come up with silly detours and combined frequencies for the sake of it

Why would you use the TEN when the 11 is six minutes faster (and takes the more direct route) between Newcastle and Blaydon (and thus Ryton and Crawcrook) and is less likely to be affected by delays caused by traffic at the Metrocentre?

If both services were due to depart at similar times from Eldon Square, I'd choose the 11 every time.
