(30 Dec 2018, 10:56 pm)xpm It's an interesting one this - when I first read it, I thought no way - but on second glance maybe there's some potential mileage in it.
Running through to Gateshead though - there really isn't the footfall to justify it - it would be better to terminate, and catch one of the many connections from the Metrocentre. You're also just asking for timetable issues with traffic at peak time trying to compete along the already congested corridors back/forth from Gateshead to the Metrocentre.
Depends how you want to take in Throckley - either from the Heddon end, or how else do you catch Throckley without doing some sort of loop?
It would also put it in competition with the X84/X85/10. Passenger loyalty on the whole through Throckley usually comes down to which bus comes first, and it's still quite a Stagecoach stronghold.
The route would kill old buses very quickly - there's a lot of dual carriageway driving on that route at top speed, and the ride would be none to comfortable either.
Frequency - not a chance for 20 mins - hourly service would be more than adequate, assuming the trip could be made realistically in an hour with a PVR of 2.

Also considering the mileage the proposed driver has done, 9 minutes is the best that he or she can be offered. Should really think of where people want to go before flooding the suggestions thread with unnecessary suggestions.

(11 Jan 2019, 4:32 am)ifm001 Not with the 57 current route. It emerges onto the A184 from Fairways Estate in the wrong direction.Could make it just serce Keir Hardie then back over to Lingey Lane / Bus loop a U turn onto the East bound A184. Would be a bit silly on a map but could make it work.
You could remove the 57 from Fairways and extend direct to Boldon Asda and revise the 58 to extend to Fairways as an alternative though.
