For Winlaton/Blaydon from Benwell would I need the 12/12A service?
No. You would need to either walk to Scotswood Bridge and catch the 12/12A from there; catch whichever Stagecoach route passes your house into town; or wait for the X84/X85/684 to either Hexham or Newcastle and catch a Go North East bus from those locations.
The 12/12A ain't going to Benwell in any of our lifetimes....
