The 94 takes ages, the 93 is quick to Gateshead Interchange, but I'm not sure how reliable the 93/94 are. Lobley Hill Road seems quite a hike up Kingsway, but has more buses and they go to Newcastle rather than just Gateshead. Probably quickest to get the 93 and change at the Interchange, but if the 93 doesn't show up for whatever reason I'll be stuck. 

Team Valley doesn't have many bus services! The 91 seems like the best option to get there, but for getting back I'm relying on a 93 turning up or going to Lobley Hill Road for anything from there. For the Metrocentre, would the Interchange and then a bus there or Lobley Hill Road be the quickest?

Sorry, thought you mentioned the college earlier on. 
How about the 93 to Bensham Bank and the 53 from there, straight over the Redheugh Bridge to Newcastle? 
Done that a couple of times too. Saves going in to Gateshead. 
Anything that goes from Kingsway North/Maingate to Newcastle via Gateshead is going to take just as long as the 93. They'll follow each other up the bank. All you're doing is changing buses earlier on.

I've been stuck for a 93 many a time, hence the suggestion about the 94 and changing part way round its loop. 

As for the Metrocentre, owt from Kingsway North/Maingate to the Metro will take you on a grand tour before getting anywhere near the Metrocentre.
