Yeah true, but then the next 60 isn't till 06:30, so that is a possible 250 min wait. 

If GNE guaranteed the connection I would feel I lot more confident about getting a night bus. Reason I get a car instead of the 21/56

Get the 21 into Gateshead, connect with the 56 too big of a risk. Really they should be be all guaranteed connections.
