Yeah just makes it tidier, I know New Hartley want more links aswell as they can't get to Cramlington really and have no real Metro link either without travelling all the way to Haymarket or doing a long walk up South Gosforth bank. East Hartford also get a bus service which actually goes somewhere aswell.
Other than the few bus stops to the East of Cramlington, I can't really see any negatives tbh and the 19/57A follow each other through High Pit so there's no loss there. The 19 right now just kind of exists on top of the other 2, and you'd open direct Ashington and Bedlington links to Cobalt for workers. They badly all need to be together imo.
