It doesn't seem that long ago, that the residents of Barley Mow and Vigo had 3 or 4 buses an hour to their local hospital too.
Whether they worked there, had some out-patient appointments or were visiting - it was doable in less than 20mins.
Now? Depends on how delayed the 21 is and how long they've got to wait at Gateshead to go back on themselves. Or, they gamble on a connection at Wrekenton.

Team Valley is 10/15mins in the car.
