With regards to extending 335 to Holystone I would look at extending the 351 from Holystone to Northumberland Park even on an evening

I would change the 335 after quarom and go via the old route past the station pub and over the level crossing then round Killingworth loop (anti clockwise so it goes via the school into Killingworth bus station)  it also creates a link for camperdown and Burradon industrial estates

Aye that seems a bit of a problem mind. I've always thought that the 335/342 should merged into one and act as a loop around Killingworth and even the Wallsend end (restore the Battle Hill to Howdon links) and do what you mentioned to the West of Killingworth.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Statio...?entry=ttu - Maybe something like that, would open up places like Forest Hall to Quorum etc which is impossible atm. Additionally serving West Street (ran out of pins) and Quorum (can't because of the bus gate).

The rest of the 342 could be served by an extended 359 which could be Westerhope to Whitley Bay via Killingworth and Backworth, would restore some of the lost Whitley Bay links lost. It's arguably better than the dogleg Wallsend link, now it doesn't serve Cramlington
