Hartlepool - Coxhoe (57)
Coxhoe - Newcastle (X12)
Newcastle - Hexham (X84)

Hexham - Newcastle (10)
Newcastle - Durham (X21)
Durham - Hartlepool (24)

or

Hartlepool - Sunderland (23)
Sunderland - Newcastle (56)
Newcastle - Hexham (685)

Hexham - Newcastle (74)
Newcastle - Middlesbrough (X12)
Middlesbrough - Hartlepool (1)

or

Hartlepool - Heworth (Train)
Heworth - Newcastle Monument (Metro Green Line - exit into Eldon Square)
Newcastle - Hexham (10)

Hexham - Newcastle (685)
Newcastle Monument - Central (Metro Yellow Line - enter via Eldon Square)
Central - York (Train)
York - Hartlepool (Train)

You didn't say no trains for the last or Eldon Square bus station

There's loads of combinations haha.
