It's a funny place Hadrian Park, it's got a lot of buses really compared to other areas around there like Rosehill which doesn't have a bus service at all, almost too many for the size of the place but it would be sad for them to lose the Newcastle route. Be hard to merge it with others though as it's such a diversion from anywhere almost 8 mins by the look of it. Could always try and extend the short 41's to Newcastle as some of express 1 running direct along the A193, then non-stop from Byker to Newcastle; not sure if it would be popular though.
Least then when it doesn't work, you just get arid of it from Wallsend to Newcastle again and no-one moans.
I think Go North East right now given the current climate we are in with Covid need to cut and merge services together to make them more sustainable in the long term as it would be some services look more profitable and would save them money in the longer term.
