The only thing that inclined me to split them was if it was one through route it would involve the bus double backing on itself around Navigation point which gets hard to explain in maps, timetables etc. Suppose it's no more confusing than the 1 going both ways along Elizabeth Way as per now.
Also your network has a higher PVR than currently - not certain how profitable Hartlepool is as a division to justify this, but would imagine it unlikely given the current cost-saving exercises being undertaken elsewhere in SNE.
