Seaton Valley Parish / Northumberland Council subsidise the 57A through Annitsford and Northumberland Council subsidise the 19 (Backworth), 74 (Stamfordham), 309 (Early Runs), 684 (West End) and 808 (Woolsingham) for similar reasons. Don't believe Nexus fund any of them. The 57A being Nexus from Earsdon to North Shields only.
I don't believe that any 309s are subsidised these days.
Durham fund the 28/28B/29 whilst Nexus secure part of the 25 that runs in County Durham.
