- Via Crawcrook rather than Barmoor
- Via Swalwell rather than Chainbridge Road
- Also ran via A1 until either 2004 (the new interchange bridge) or Tridents replaced by B10BLEs

I never asked, bur cheers anyway. 

Oh, and the original 602 (paired with the 601 which operated via Dilston instead of Corbridge) ran via Scotswood Road, before Metrocentre was a thing. 

Both were also briefly extended to Killingworth between October 1986 and Jan 1987 (this was at the same time both the 604/X64 were extended to North Shields via, what would become, the 356 route).
