To me, it looks like we have:
X30 Stanley to Newcastle via Shield Row, Sunniside, Whickham and Dunston
X31 Stanley to Newcastle via East Stanley, Sunniside, Whickham and Dunston
X32 Stanley to Newcastle via East Stanley, Sunniside, Lobley Hill and Gateshead
X70 Consett to Newcastle via Leadgate, Dipton, Flint Hill, Burnopfield, Sunniside, Lobley Hill and Gateshead
X71 Consett to Newcastle via Leadgate, Medomsley, Burnopfield, Sunniside, Lobley Hill and Gateshead
X72 (eve/Sun) Stanley to Newcastle via Annfield Plain, Dipton, Flint Hill, Burnopfield, Sunniside, Lobley Hill and Gateshead
X73 (Mon to Sat Daytime) Stanley to Newcastle via Annfield Plain, Dipton, Flint Hill, Burnopfield, Sunniside, Whickham and Metrocentre
