There should be one bus route which is Cramlington -> 57A to Whitley Bay additionally serving the hospital -> 317 to North Shields Ferry every 30 minutes only.
and a second route Wallsend -> North Shields, maybe bolted onto the end of the 18 to restore the Q3 links to Wallsend aswell.
The 317 is a few amalgamated routes to basically save Nexus money they won't be changing it anytime soon imo. Even though it saved money it is actually a good route for passenger usage and links.
And for your 18 point they could just extend the 18 to Wallsend and time it with the 317. (As that section got cut because of the Q3's higher frequency.)
