but really i would like to see more things in the South Shields area only because, you have the new interchange to show off more, regeneration plan is drawing in more people to the Town and Beach.
Speaking of the beach they should use the B7TL's from the Toon Tour once there done and rerun the Seafront Shuttle that Stagecoach did.

I would run the X20 to Jarrow (via the 9 route), so it doesn't fully duplicate the 20 with less stops and does a similar route but still different routes such as the 21/X21 The freq. is the same and it provides new links from Jarrow, South Tyneside and Boldon to Durham and Langley Park. 
However I know this will have operational issues so unless the 5/26/50 can all interwork I don't know if this would be possible unless a new route is introduced probably not with the way GNE is from the Pandemic.
