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.
I've always wanted the 9 to return to North Shields but with the 10/11 now going to the hub. Don't know how stagecoach would take it.
Reading through old timetables showed the 5 to Wallsend & the 9 to North Shields. Them were the days. Don't think we will ever see that
