what about an extension on 19 from North Shields via fish quay ,royal quays to jarrow.this may open new destinations north of the Tyne
what i dont understand is why the 9 (soon to be 5) is still missing out East Howdon,wouldnt take that long to add in the whole of 4 stops (2 Jarrow/ S.Shields bound and 2 bound for North Shields),i would use the 2 bus stops that the 11 uses bound for Wallsend those could also serve the 5 for Jarrow and South Shields and the other 2 can serve the 5 for North Shields so all it has to do is come straight out of the Tunnel and in to East Howdon
