The only problem is the cost of funding the service using the existing ticketing, there's no way Nexus could afford it. I think it would work great however, have a bus run the North Tyneside loop, with an N27 complementing the existing 56 (no need to run a service on the Sunderland line, just allow metro tickets to be used on the existing 56). That could be a basis for an extended night bus network if it was successful.
