Would it be possible to extend the 42A to Kingston Park Tesco? Maybe run it along the M71 route to Westerhope? Nexus could secure the 42A from Dinnington to Westerhope via Kingston Park and Tesco Car Park and withdraw the M71? Hope to see the 42A stick around. Unfortunate the 42A can't be extended from Kingston Park into town, or maybe the M71 Kingston Park into town via Westerhope and West Denton Shops. 13 could alternatively run into town from West Denton Shops.

Admit this is dragging the thread off topic a bit but the 42A should terminate at Killingworth.

Then there should be a new service running the 57 from Ashington to Cramlington, direct to Dudley, then the remaining of the 42A route.

The 54 should then be downgraded to Solo's permanently (it's ran by them on a Sunday now anyway) and interwork with the 57A which would run every 30 minutes (no 57 as it's not needed south of Cramlington, the 19 does it).

Would reintroduce a bus service from SE Northumberland to the airport and there's no need for the 19/57 both doing Wansbeck through Seaton Valley to North Tyneside it's overkill and Seaton Valley would get a link to North Tyneside hospital on a connecting bus.

Doesn't help your GNE buses but the 42A is totally out of zone and really needs to be an Arriva or Stagecoach service (it's contracted North of Killingworth).
