I'm not really suggesting this but if we're ditching buses and working together around there then it should be the 1 between North Shields and Gateshead with the 22 split into a 22 and 23, with the 22 being the current route and the 23 doing North Shields to Newcastle via the route 1 but going direct to Fossway from Appleby Gardens then continuing to Throckley.

The 10 minute service to Cobalt / Silverlink is overkill and 9 buses along there doing similar calling patterns is also overkill. 6 buses an hour with 3 buses doing each of the localised areas is more than enough.

The 310 could easily be extended to do the other half of the route.
