In Burnside School, Wallsend, you have got the 664 and 665 which depart there at around 15:40. If you stand opposite the school you'll get good pictures (On the burn bridge)
Usually operated by a Olympian and a Lolyne.
I would strongly advise against doing this.
In today's panic-stricken, theatre of fear in which we live I'm afraid that if you were to stand opposite a school, camera in hand, then you'd probably be whisked away by the local constabulary at a moments notice and asked to explain yourself. Since all incidents of this nature have to be logged, regardless of reason, you may end being stigmatised in the future.
Find out the routes and stand in a neutral place. For example, with exception of the scholar services going to Rowlands Gill, all services from St Thomas More school in Blaydon have to travel down Blaydon Bank. Maybe stand at the foot of it, position yourself on the church wall and take pictures as the buses come down the bank....That sort of thing!
Just something to bear in mind and think about.
