Aye the 6/7 extension wouldn't be a bad one either really harder to do though since it's a commercial route so would have issues there.
The Q3 is the one that baffles me, Nexus is currently subsidising 5 buses an hour between St Peter's and Walker, an absolute waste of tax payers money, if you ask me. At least, the 18 should be extended to Wallsend instead of the Q3, least it would give a terminus at the Eastern side where people might actually want to be as no-one outside of Walker wants to go to Walker.
