Also From the Regent Centre you maybe could extend it to Haymarket with the Q3 to add a further connection to the bus station which Wallsend, nor Jarrow have at this moment.
Washington Galleries-Regent Centre
Service Number ... X123
Literately a limited stop to make it an Express. (Stop at locations only)
Washington Galleries
Concord Bus Station
Amazon Bus Station Follingsby
Jarrow Bus Station (for Metro link)
(Through tunnel)
Wallsend Bus Station (for Metro Link)
(Express )
Four Lane Ends Metro interchange - Park and Ride (possibly or direct to Freeman)
Freeman Hospital
South Gosforth Metro Station
Regent Centre Metro Station
Benefits is
Link to Amazon for North of Tyne
Direct link from Jarrow Metro to Wallsend Metro
Washington has a link to Freeman Hospital
Creating quicker links between Metro stations avoiding Newcastle City Centre
Jarrow has a direct link to Freeman Hospital
Serving Hospital and Amazon workers but improves reliability if Metro are off passengers visiting Hospital has a quick link
Wallsend to Amazon in less than 30mins perhaps?
Extending it to Sunderland would add connnections from the A690 to Newcastle & Washington, Wallsend, Freemans, Amazon.
And X123 I don't really like that. But maybe X56. Or just a X65
