Benwell to Hexham also takes a while on the X84/684 unfortunately. Bus into Newcastle probably makes the most sense, but walking to Scotswood Bridge is the most direct.
Why doesn't/couldn't the 12/12A (or a new 12B) serve Benwell?
There's no indication of the 684 being withdrawn - it's been funded by Northumberland County Council for years now (as the X84) and if i'm not mistaken the contract is being renewed this year so I wouldn't worry about that.
