Personally I'd extend the Q3 to Hadrian Park and then extend the 42 to do the rest of the 41 route. Least it creates some more connections can't imagine there's much demand for people doing the horseshoe route of the 41.
Then at the same time renumber the 42 to 18 and 11 back to the 17. The 17 and 19 have a bit of a history whereas the 42 etc don't wasn't that the 319 anyway at one point so it's kinda close with the 18. The 40's to me are the slow non express Gosforth services.
