Legacy route, the 57A used to be Cramlington to North Shields but I'm clueless why it still exists nowadays if I had to be honest. The subsidy has just never changed from when it was cancelled nearly 10 year ago now, why - god knows, incompetence more than likely.
It's the same as that circular route, who's number has bolted from my head in Sunderland which still existed until reletively recently.
