Apart from the X46 going from Haymarket and the 49 from Eldon Square (odd for a Gosforth service, but makes sense with the X47 extending to Great Park so they are together), the route is basically Newcastle - Gosforth High Street - Regent Centre, for both, so the X46 could start at Regent Centre to cover the different route to Great Park.
The X46 is the only bus that services Brunton Park. The 49 is the 'problem' bus route out of the two as it does nothing unique and duplicates that and the 43/44/45
