I think buses should pick up passengers when they are running light. For example a Tynedale Links Solo runs through Slatyford and Cowgate to go onto the 112 scholar's in West Jesmond. Could this bus not therefore run a service to West Jesmond?
An empty bus from Hexham to West Jesmond for a short West Jesmond to Arthur's Hill run seems a waste of resources.
Why are scholars buses provided, when scholars can board normal public buses, and before the pandemic anybody could board a scholars bid anyway.
My biggest suggestion is to do something with the 42A and Q3. So close together, yet so far apart. One should be extended to connect with the other, and the 42A being less frequent should link with the Q3 for Newcastle.
