See I would change 57 completely but use the community centre as a consultation hub to ask where do you want your bus to go from the village.

I actually think North Shields to Seghill then to Killingworth either via the back road and down to Northumberland Park then off to Killingworth Bus Station.

Why?

You create a link with Killingworth to Northumberland Park

And quite a lot of people shop at Morrisons Killingworth /Matalan /Home Bargains etc.... but there is no direct bus linking the Seghill village with Killingworth

Linking it with Northumberland Park is more strategic to link with the metro and the new line
