Surely going to Kingston Park instead of Kenton and going towards the Metro Centre rather than duplicating the 10 buses to Newcastle would be a better use of it?
Similar challenges to the 18 in Sunderland with this one I'd say. It does provide unique links but like you say it is a very very convoluted route especially in the west end where it must double back on itself three or four times.
Don't think you could just pull it out of Kenton, it doesn't really duplicate the 10 at all, more shadows the 7 if anything. It's the only bus service covering much of Montagu since they pulled the 15 years ago. If anything it's the loop around Buddle Road area I'd bin off, the whole lot of it is covered by the 1/30/31 at a much higher frequency.
