How about this for the 56:
Two more pulsars off the 43/44/45 with one extra ALX400 and one extra Gemini replacing them and extending the 56 to Whitley Bay following the 51 route but missing out Beaumont Park and Whitley Lodge (due to pulsars being large buses thus not fitting down some of the small roads) having three buses an hour Newcastle-Whitley Bay via Benton ASDA. It would also run Four Lane Ends-Forest Hall following the 353 route down Whitley Road
This also still allows a faster link between Newcastle-Forest Hall than the Frequenta 56
