The Stagecoach 22/22X extension to Cobalt killed the North Tyneside network as it made the 309 redundant for people going to Cobalt from the West End etc and people using the 11/40/41/42 in the Howdon area will use the 22 instead as it's more frequent and goes further.

GNE downgrading the buses, then pulling half the 40/41 and 42 and then losing the evening and Sunday services just put nails in them.
