There's other areas with no bus service at all especially on the 10, 49, 49A, 51, 52, 53, 54, 56, 57, 58, 93, 94, X1 corridors and none of these are exactly dead bus routes. They should be first priority imo rather than duplicating an area that has some form of service.
Low Fell doesn't need 5 buses an hour (29 running aswell). Running the 28 hourly, with the 29 curtailed at Kibblesworth would be better use of limited services with the 57 running additionally, least everyone in Gateshead would have access to a bus service of some form.
