I've got some "wonky" ideas in my head, and some of them might just work
Maybe not for the people who live there!

The 19/335/350/W2 are a waste of tax payer funds currently though, as they are imo, especially when you've got stuff like areas in Sunderland unserved which used to be covered by the 18 as they've 'got no money'. The W2 just shouldn't exist at all, when the 351 exists which is basically the same route, bar one bus stop. Just a waste of public funds.
Have you noticed the loads carried on the 350/351, especially on the West Allotment - Holystone - Benton Rise - Newcastle part of the routes? I travel regularly on both routes and at certain times it’s difficult to get a seat into the city centre.
I believe the 335 is used by people from Hadrian Park, Battle Hill, High Farm areas to ASDA.
