Or alternatively would you run non-stop via the A1 and the Washington Highway? Both would have benefits, but I think the latter would improve the experience for those travelling from further afield.
I would serve Gateshead as it provides a Link to the MetroCentre/Team Valley and Newcastle/Gateshead Quayside along with the Metro, all of which are great Connections. After Gateshead I would have it go up the A1/Washington Highway to make Service Faster.
