Surely passengers numbers must indicate when on standalone Jarrow - North Shields, the numbers must be lower than when they are bolted on to other services, ie 9, 10, 11.

Maybe Nexus should look at extending the 515 to Jarrow from Hebburn and extend that to North Shields as opposed to standalone 319, if they want GCT to operate.

Plenty of opportunites around to look at really.

Agreed, yeah it was July last year the 9 took over from the 10/11, in the last 10 years its been the 9, then the 5, then the 319, then the 10/11, then back to the 9 again, now back to the 319, bit of clever planning and they could have the best of both worlds, 
19, reverted back to its previous routing
319, Jarrow- Killingworth (via Backworth) eliminating the whole "two 19's issue"
