I have the 12's on my doorstep and if I walk to either Walker Road or Welbeck Road I have an 18, 39/40 and a Q3. That being said, barely anything on an evening. The only bus that stays in the east end and towards FLE is from every half hour to an hour. Also went to school in West Denton and sixth form in Elswick, so I'm all to familiar with the areas and locals and how disgusting it is. Rye Hill only looks nice cos its near a college but you can't polish a turd. Dont get me started on Arthur's Hill. The locals don't even know it's called Arthur's Hill. Trust me, spend a few days there, you'll hear people saying "Stanhopa" (no spelling mistake there either, it is supposed to be an A on the end)??
Agree the sooner that the networks are looked at holistically the better - parts of Walker Ouseburn and St Peters Basin have a very poor level of service provision. Links to the metros are either turn up and go or 20/30 mins or longer. The Q3 needs to have more purpose and to be honest needs to connect in to a metro (Byker not Wallsend).
