Perhaps starting off in Blaydon with step-free access from the rail station, stopping at Riverside by the GNE depot for Handy access to the MetroCenter, Dunston Staithes, Swing Bridge, Millennium Bridge then running to Ouseburn then fast to DFDS at North Shields as a humble opponent to the 327. Prices start at £7

Suggested this in the past. Would certainly stop the constant cries for bus lanes and priority measures! Unless it gets in the way of the Shields ferry and the King of Scandinavia. 
Then there'd be dummy spitting, river priority measures and all sorts of subsidies being demanded!
