It's an hourly service and it's the only one which runs around there nowadays so it's not like one bus is going to be obstructed by another coming in the other direction.
From my understanding of the route of the 12, and I may be wrong, it will run to Winlaton Bus Station, then back out again via Blaydon Bank, Wylam View, Heddon View, Back Lane, North Street, then around Hanover Estate before returning to the Bus Station and running back to Newcastle.
I think it's a giant figure of 8 they are doing. So 12A route to Buttermere Crescent, then direct via Church Street to North Street, Heddon View, Wylam View, Bus Station, THEN Hanover Estate/Snook Hill then the 12A to Newcastle from Buttermere Crescent.
