I would argue there's a bit of duplication within the W services and could look to improve revenues/margins (footfall) at the same time. 

W2 and W3 to merge (along with western elements of W1), with some slight variations to routes. 

W1 and 333 to merge (using the northern section of Broadway as the link) and 333 to serve Front Street in Tynemouth, before going back to its normal route, passing Linskill. 
On the Fish Quay, it will serve the ferry in both directions and omit Brewhouse Bank.

I know it would be difficult as it's two different operators and two different councils subsiding the services however the W2 would be better to merge with the 58. Then have a long extended bus route.

Cramlington -> New Hospital -> Seghill (Change From East Cramlington) -> Seaton Delaval -> New Hartley -> Seaton Sluice -> Whitley Bay Metro

This would create lots of new links such as:

• Restore the half hourly service between Seghill and Cramlington.
• New link from Seghill direct to hospital.
• New links between New Hartley / Seaton Delaval Hall and Whitley Bay
• New links between New Hartley / Seaton Delaval Hall / Seaton Sluice direct to the Metro for connections.
