For North Tyneside, maybe I would extend the 80 beyond Wallsend and onto Walker via Fossway, Scrogg Road and Wharrier Street to create new links to the Cobalt and North Tyneside Hospital from the East End of Newcastle.
Or, if I was really naughty, extend the 40/41 into Newcastle (perhaps beyond if I was really, really wicked) via the current Stagecoach 40 route which would again create new links to the Cobalt from the East End. However, if this were to happen, I wonder how long it would take before some for 'magically' branded buses started to appear?
