The times between both 239's allow connections from one another, its just a pity GNE doesn't make anyone aware of this.
John Crake & Sons Mini Buses Ltd who run the other half of the 239 do show the connections on their timetables on their Facebook page at least
It's a bit like when ANE/GNE run a daytime service commercially but then don't show the evening journeys who are run by another operator (for example GNE running the 86 to Toft Hill on a night and Arriva who do the daytime journeys produce printed timetables not showing this, or at least haven't in the past).
I’m not sure why they should?!
The 239 has no relation to the main Go North East network, it is a Durham County Council secured contract, and is up to them to promote it. Go North East do well to promote the 239 as it is, they’re under no obligation to do so.
Aside from clinging onto history of that being a through bus (used by very very very few people!) I’m not sure why this link would continue to be promoted.
The document you’ve shown there is what came from the county council when the services were split at the request of Go North East following a prolonged period of vandalism and huge cost that wasn’t factored into their contract bid.
