You could probably drop the 62/63 down to every 30 minutes each from Four Lane Ends to Killingworth aswell now the 37/38 is heading to the Killingworth area, whenever I see them they're pretty much dead. Seems very overbussed. Is there really that much demand from Byker to Killingworth and the bits in between as no-one sane is heading to Newcastle in that direction, as every part of the route has a faster bus / Metro (37/38/355/X7/X8/X63) depending where you are? Obviously that would be rightfully be very unpopular though.
62/63 go every 30 from Four Lane Ends
and combine it with the 37/38, I'd then extend the 38 to Killingworth via East Bailey, that then gives both Baileys a service to Central, then return route it would turn right onto Forest Hall Road, not doing that bonkers routing the 356 does
