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.

Apologies, I did, but I just meant the Baltic Campus bus stop for the 93/94 but I think I'll get the 91 from Newcastle instead.

So the 93 isn't reliable then? If getting the 93 from Kingsway North it's quick enough to Gateshead Interchange then I can get something into Newcastle from there. It's 3 buses home! Just two buses there as I can get the 91 from Newcastle to Team Valley, and from Lobley Hill Road it would be two buses home as they go into Newcastle. If the 93 doesn't show, get the 94 and change buses along the route? Forget Lobley Hill Road as it's quite a hike, or go for that if the 93 doesn't arrive?

Metrocentre would probably be a 93 to Gateshead Interchange then X66 to Metrocentre I guess.
