Ha I wouldn't have a clue, just know Birtley as I used to have a mate who lived nearby so had to get a bus there once in a blue moon.
Personally I think Durham Road is one of the worst corridors in the North East though. Way too many buses on the 21 which force people on the further out areas to suffer horribly long journey times as they're stopping every 50 yards and not enough express services from the likes of Chester Le Street or alternatively places like Waldridge Park and Fencehouses with no service at all without a change.
2 buses an hour on the 21 is enough beyond the Angel imo, if there was a decent express service getting people from Birtley and Chester Le Street to Newcastle where ultimately people want to be. What you do with the other 6 buses is open for debate but removing the duplicates like the 25 and 29 would be a good start.
