I don't think your suggestions for service 81 between Brady Square and Teal Farm would work mate. I'm sure I remember reading that Go North East stopped running services from Brady Square to Barmston Court as the junction on Station Road is very tight even for a minibus to get round, plus the buildings on either side at the end of the junction obstruct the drivers view when turning. It may be ok on an evening though when its not so busy. Barmston Road between Barmston Court and Teal Farm is still closed due to the construction work going on in the area.
