Although with the withdrawl on the 24 there has been a decrease in frequency, so perhaps an Hourly Service wouldn't do any harm.
Here are my suggestions
Washington - Oxclose - Blackfell - Eighton Banks - Wrekenton - Harlow Green - Low Fell - Bensham - Lobily Hill - Whickam - Blaydon - Winlaton
or
Washington - Oxclose - Blackfell - Springwell - Springwell Estate - Leam Lane Estate - Beacon Lough Estate - Queen Elizabeth Hospital - Low Fell - Team Valley - Bensham - Lobily Hill - Whickam - Blaydon - Winlaton
