As for the 141/Ryhope - Houghton.
I dont think there is enough traffic for a service operating purely between those points.
To integrate it in to a route that goes well beyond those points (unlike the 38 that went to Rainton Bridge and continued to do so even when shifts started), I think there would be enough to sustain it.
When GNE took on the 37/38 from Sunderland with the service split at Herrington burn with the 37 going to Washington and the 38 went to houghton, that didn’t last long neither with GNE keeping the small section of the 38 and the 37 went out to tender. Should of never closed philly down, used to be a good set of services until there got streamlined.
Service 4, same route between Heworth and shiny row, then old route to houghton church then service split as 4 and 4A with the 4 going the 36 route to Chester on 20 minute freq and the 4A doing a circular route up hall lane then down rainton indust into fence houses then up to houghton church with the 4 back to heworth.
Service X1 same route but freq is every 20 mins.
Service X2 same as X1 but between shiny row and houghton via old 4 route and then up to hetton bus station terminate and not go between hetton and easington lane.
