The 62 and 39B extensions are much better use of services than short services duplicating routes and offering nothing worthwhile.
The Nexus services are just a mangled mess right now and it doesn't help Nexus are funding the evening services for the others mentioned there (41/41A/57A).
Arguably it's better for everyone, less subsidies if they are successful and better routes for the passengers. There's still the 341 and 342 there for Gateshead Taxis to get their hands on as they'll never be profitable.
They could do this with the 82/82A. I have suggested before that the 82A should be extended from Birtley to Lamesley, Team Valley then as the 91 into Newcastle.
