Off the top of my head, I'm guessing the following could be merged:

335 and 42/42A - as the 41 is replacing the 42/42A around Wilshire Drive, I'm guessing hourly to Wallsend would be sufficient. So Have the 42 operating it's current route (excluding Wilshire Drive), and the 42A operating current route to Benton Asda, then current 335 route to North Shields. Possibly extend the 42 to Howdon to replace the 41/41A.

333 and 11 could be merged as per the evening/Sunday plans at the previous consultation. Could replace 41/41A around Howdon instead of the 42.

19 and 359 could be merged, extending to Backworth, then continuing to Seaton Deleval to continue current route, which I'm guessing will be staying as it's funded by NCC. Not sure if there is any need for for the Cramlington-Ashington, or even the Silverlink-North Shields section however. Could just be Silverlink or Percy Main to Cramlington in reality as the 11 covers the Percy Main to North Shields section well enough. 

I'm sure the Whitley Bay local routes could be rationalised too. Possibly incorporate them into the 11 or 57/57A.
