P&R will never work for Newcastle imo as it's just a chore. The people who would be using a P&R will be at the Metro Centre or elsewhere and save the hassle.
I would say the main problem with parking in Newcastle is the cost, but that's probably me being tight!

You'll struggle to find parking in Durham for less than £2 for the day at all, plus you don't have the faff of driving through Durham (even though it's not that bad)
I was using the Durham park and ride in the late afternoon and it was dead on both the out and return (last of the day) journeys. A later service might be of benefit.
