Aye that's fair then. Tbh I'd just extend the 79 or whatever it is for the sake of it as it'll never be popular imo but the places need serving. Easier.
For the other half of the route, I'd say extend the 25 towards Houghton via the current route every hour giving links to places beyond Chester Le Street where they might actually want to go and extend the 21 shorts to do the current 25 so the likes of Waldridge, Sacriston and Langley Park don't have to go on a mystery tour of Gateshead and Birtley to Newcastle. Can't see people complaining about either tbh and the estates in Birtley are more likely to want to go to Houghton than a few random Durham ex pit villages.
