Having something like MetroLink would be good as it serves Kingston Park metro, Bank Foot Metro, Callerton Parkway Metro, Airport Metro, Four Lane Ends, Metro, Wallsend Metro. I wouldn't class it as little coaster anymore. Maybe when it went to North Shields or am I missing the whole Coaster thing in the name
The original branding is about connecting with the Coaster services and the parallel sections in Wallsend between Howdon and Wallsend which the 11, 40, 41 and 42/42A used to do and is the local bus services of Wallsend (replacement for Wallsend Links / North Tyne Links)
The 42/42A isn't too bad as it would make sense to connect with the Coaster at Wallsend to go places on the Southern sections.
The 19 is the one that's confused as it doesn't overlap or connect with the Coaster anywhere and at no point on the route does it make sense to do so either and at the same time doesn't serve Wallsend. It's also the only bus in the majority of the places that it serves that doesn't serve the coast at all and should be unbranded or have it's old Route 19 / Cobalt Connect branding which made sense.
