If going back commercially against Arriva with no partnership in place (if happening), GNE will need to reduce costs. The Saturday frequency reduction will help - as well as reducing fuel bills not running heavy duty B9TLs.

Asides, I think GNE could potentially be looking at StreetLites for the 307/309 in the not too distant future, especially if Arriva launch an all out assault and go back to every 7/8 minutes on the 306 & 308 - both of which far more likely to receive EV investment with the infrastructure already in place at Blyth.

Not being horrible here but have you taken something. You really think that the 307/309 would go single deck. Whats this constant Arriva 306/308 destroy the 307/309. I really dont understand what point you are trying to make. So what if they go 7/8 minutes. All this talk i see about the 306/308 seems to be you only caring about the section from Newcastle to Battle Hill. Why do you never mention the 350/351 in part of this discussion constant
