Thats just a skeletal structure
Personally if there was going to be any express route it would be better to do something like:

It fills in the gaps in North Tyneside where buses are shockingly slow towards Newcastle where there's not a Metro alternative. Whitley Bay to Blyth is way too saturated and doesn't need anymore buses.
Pretty much everywhere on that route has a crap bus service (or a non existent one other than rubbish like the hourly 335) and it creates a link between Cullercoats - Tynemouth - North Shields Fish Quay / Ferry Terminal where people will want to travel between for leisure reasons but can't atm as it doesn't exist.
