- 309 / 310 = P&G or during the evenings for the 310 only, North East Tyre Garage stop.
- 17 = Benton ASDA via the van
- 40 / 41 / 80 = Hadrian Park via the van
- 19 = Cobalt P&G
- Coaster = If depot was in Cobalt, position to Whitley Bay as a passenger on the 309 or take the van depending upon the time of day or traffic.
Or they could just remain the same with the changeovers being at North Shields where the office is?
