The 19 route in general needs work imo. The long one is fine but the short one literally has no purpose during the day pretty much bar Northumberland Park to Cobalt and there's little demand for employment during the day. Extending it to Killingworth via Backworth isn't the answer either unless they're happy to be funding the 354 as that route is a right basketcase of a route whenever I see it, like you mentioned the other day, and it's now a faster version of it. There's never anyone on at the Western side unless I miss the busy boards.

This is clearly operational since the 335 is in limbo without another service, they'd be better extending that for another 12 minutes imo and running it standalone imo - where someone else can decide. Howdon loop maybe?
