Didnt the 30 use to go to the cotswolds in the late 90s (maybe evenings only)

VFM/GNE at the time ran the 530/531 to Cotswolds Est but the SNE 30 has never operated there 
The SNE 30 was extended for a short period of time in a loop from Boldon Cinema along the 'bypass' and then joined the route of the current 5 back towards Boldon Asda that may be what your thinking of.
