62 & 63 extension to Cramlington.
62 follows the 52 route after Killingworth & 63 follows the 53 route after Killingworth.
18 to follow the 55 route round Forest Hall
54 taken over by Stagecoach
51 taken over by Go North East
Saves time and simple. The 18 at Four Lane Ends provide ticket options. Could even extension the 18 into Killingworth for ticket opinion and links to the 54 & the 62/63 to Cramlington
Edit: could even do an every 30 minutes to Cramlington instead of every time. Obviously the 18 would need to be timed to match up with either a 62 or 63
The 52 needs to exist between Killingworth / Quorum and Four Lane Ends / Freeman as it's the only service which connects them all without going on a detour.
If you want to extend an existing Stagecoach services, the 38 up to Cramlington doing the 52 route. Believe it takes 45 minutes so would be a PVR 3 and would work.
You could possibly make the case of cancelling the X63 off peak aswell as whenever I see it, it's pretty dead.
