Washington Galleries-  Amazon - Nissan- then A19 to  Jarrow Bus Station - through tunnel to Wallsend bus station up Station Road to battlehill but join coast road at battlehill to silverlink /A19 junction  to create a link at silverlink then into cobalt and Northumberland Park

I've always thought that the 19 should go through the tunnel vs to North Shields, the buses are almost always dead and there's already Cobalt to North Shields links anyway with the 310/353/354

Probably the best thing you could do is send the 9 through the tunnel to Percy Main and extend it onto the 19 through to Cramlington, obviously you'd have to break the interworking of the 9/5/24 though but it would open loads of areas to Cobalt, and if you did need to go to Nissan you could always change onto the 50 at Boldon.

Yeah let's hope to be honest. Mind not sure Arriva would be too happy for obvious reasons.
