An off peak round trip is 4hr 30m. 25 mins in each direction from Hownsgill would take total driving hours to 5hr 20m without any delays either in service or on remote relief. So perhaps wouldn't work given max driving hours in one go are 5hr 30.
Even without it being very close to exceeding driving hours, 25 minute trips between Hownsgill and CLS is excessive when Riverside to Gateshead has a frequent direct bus service and is a much shorter distance for dead running.
