Yeah that's my feelings aswell when I see them, the 353 being the strongest.
I'm surprise they don't scrap the 352 and 354 tbh, I know there'll be moaning about the 354 but it's operationally out of their area and was a basket case before they even took it on and the 359 covers the important bit around Backworth.
You could then just run:
353: Every 30 Minutes - PVR 5
57: Wardley to Forest Hall, Every 30 Minutes - PVR 6
There's not many Cross Tyne links and would open some new links, including to the Central Station from Forest Hall and Longbenton.
