North Eastern ran via Rectory Road and Saltwell Road South to Kibblesworth. Finally GNE used to serve Carr Hill Road Health Centre but I can't remember the route number.

As far as I remember, the 25 operated through Low Fell, alongside the 24 and 26.
I do remember a night service up Beacon Lough Road in the mid 80's. Cant recall which way it operated to get there though.
The change to the 27 and it operating along Prince Consort Road must have came about 96/97ish. By which point the 26 had gone and the 24/25 were just play things, being changed as often as the 1/2 were in subsequent years.
I could have been sure the 27 (in that guise), continued to Shields (or at least towards it) in the Durham Road/Prince Consort Road days. Possibly before the 87 that you mention.
However, in hindsight, I may be getting it confused with a version of the 57.
Have to apologise regarding the 648/49 and mentioning them alongside Old Fold. Meant Carr Hill. Always have got the two mixed up. No idea why.
A glance at those timetables would be great.

The 187 came after the 77 and was replaced by a diversion to the 69A
(05 Apr 2018, 4:20 am)Andreos1 wrote I can't remember the 27 operating via Old Durham Road, but can remember the 51/52 going via Sunderland Road. For a period, seemingly operated only by Mk1 Metrobuses.
I can remember the 27 operating along Durham Road between Gateshead and Dryden Road, prior to it shifting to Prince Consort Road. Never quite understood the change and why that was the service picked to go along past the library etc.
The early 2000's was my lost period for public transport, but if I remember right, the 27 had been played about with quite a bit leading up to that period.
An extension to Shields to replace the 527 came about I think and that could have tied in with the period around the Shields depot closure.
I seem to remember there was also a period where the 51/52 stopped operating along Easedale Gardens to/from Wrekenton and I think that was mid/late 90's. May have been slightly earlier.

(06 Apr 2018, 12:38 pm)MurdnunoC wrote I think you and BLM must have misunderstood my post about the route of the 27. The 27 did not operate up Old Durham Road, the 51/52 operated along Old Durham Road and Beacon Lough Road before the two routes were combined with the 51/52 replacing the 27 between Gateshead and Wrekenton (via Gateshead Library, Dryden Road etc.). Perhaps I could have been clearer on that point.
The 57 (initially as the 557) was extended from Heworth to South Shields via the route of the old 533 via Fellgate Estate, Boldon Colliery and Whiteleas. As we in the North East can't be trusted with three-digit numbering as we find it 'confusing'. The 557 became the 57 much like the 527 became the 27.
I'm trying to post a pic of the 25 timetable when it still operated along Dryden Road along with a list of changes in Gateshead which happened on Deregulation Day. However, I'm having trouble doing it at the moment due to an error message on the site. Hopefully it will be sorted out soon.

Didn't last too long. Year or two tops.

most if not all of this information is on this site already in the Archive area.
