Anyone have any suggestions on what route it could take?
Routing any potential service between Beamish and Newcastle via Chester and Washington eliminates any sense of 'directness' that the bus may offer. It would probably take just as much time as services 28 & 28a between those two points.
Surely, the most direct route is Beamish - Hill Top (East Stanley) - Sunniside - Lobley Hill - A1 - A184 - (Gateshead) - Newcastle if the route of service 21 is not to be duplicated.
