Birtley doesn't get a link to Washington at all - its nearest major shopping centre (unless you connect at CLS or Wrekenton) and Portmeads and Vigo (ironically an area with lots of new bulld housing and developments) loses its commuter link to Newcastle.
No direct link to hospitals for Birtley either - ironically easier to get to RVI and Durham Hospital than it is to get to the QE..
It looks as though some parts of Birtley will have better access to both of these places than they have in several years.
