Personally with the Birtley mess as I like to call it, I'd do.
24: Newcastle - Low Fell - Harlow Green - Wrekenton - Lansdown Road - Birtley - 82 to Barmston
25: Newcastle - QE Hospital - Wrekenton - Portobello - Chester Le Street - Langley Park
It's a complete mess right now imo with the duplicating of the 28/82 between the QE and Birtley.
Tbf, the 28 only really serves a very small part of what you’d call ‘new town’ Birtley whereas the 82 serves a much wider residential area. The wider purpose of the 28 is links to ouston, beamish, pelton etc to Birtley and CLS.
The 28B having half its route cut on a Sunday is an odd one
