I thought so

Was it before the above comments, that the 192/193/194/195

192 Washington to Easington lane then Murton?

193 Washington to Easington Lane then Wheatley Hill or Thornley?

194 Washington to Easington Lane.

195 Washington to Hetton-Le-Hole via Bournmoor , in later in life was withdrawn when the X94 started up?, the evenings and Sunday journeys on the 195 were renumbered as 165 secured journeys operated by OK travel.

Was it ever rerouted via Team Valley at one point, as i have a Gateshead network map from 2005 and theres a 193 on it via Team Valley, or was this a different 193 to the one above

It was a different one. I believe that 193 operated between Newcastle and the Team Valley, partially replacing what used to be the 915, I think.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Washington Town Centre wouldn't have been the Galleries back then so what was classed as Town Centre, so I'm thinking what is now Concord! would have been maybe Washington Town Centre.

It was opened in July 1974, apparently. 

So it would have, at the very least, under construction with some bits probably open: a bit like how the Metrocentre was opened in stages with the Red Quadrant opening first (in 1986), then the Green Quadrant, then the Blue and Yellow Quadrants with stuff like Metroland opening in 1988.

Just had a look at the 1970's timetables on Timetable World and Concord is definitely the old town centre, the fact it's not mentioned I'd assume it's still there as it would definitely be a timing point. (Thought it might have been what the village is but it's mentioned as it's own place).

I assume then they were still doing this route:
