Nah it's only the Metro between Pelaw and South Hylton aswell.

GNE don't really serve close to many rail lines though or not where people really travel other than really Seaham to Sunderland but not sure many people use the train there anyway since the bus is much more frequent.

Btw you might not know those routes but these are them with more detail:

Arriva:
1/X1 - Darlington to Bishop Auckland
X66 (X67 temp suspended) - Darlington to Middlesbrough via Stockton
7 - Durham to Darlington
23/24 - Durham / Sunderland to Hartlepool
X3/X4 - Middlesbrough to East Cleveland / Whitby (covers Middlesbrough to Saltburn / Redcar)
685 - Newcastle to Carlisle via Hexham

Stagecoach:
1 - Hartlepool to Middlesbrough via Seaton Carew
36 - Hartlepool to Middlesbrough via Stockton / Billingham
20/X24 - Sunderland services

That's pretty much all the rail lines covered. The Nunthorpe and James Cook services might struggle aswell, but not 100% sure what runs that way, 28/29/63 all Arriva I believe.
