Nah it's not.

The 57 comes from the 342 which turned into the 52 which then eventually got swapped with the 57 and the 52 cut at Cramlington. The 57 being changed to run by the new hospital at a later date again.

The 19 doing what was the 340 North of Bedlington, I'm not too sure on the history on whether that used to be the 442 - possibly.

The 57A is more the 810 bar it serves Elsdon Avenue and Tillmouth Avenue which used to be the 811 between Cramlington and Whitley with them all cutting the corner at Monkseaton Metro instead of serving the Coast now.
