It's going to take at least that to do Durham to Washington, only stopping at Fram and Chester... Then you've got traffic on the A1231/A19 or past Nissan to contend with...
The 50 in it's current form it takes 40 Minutes to go from Durham to Washington
Durham to Chester-le-Street via Framwellgate Moor - 14 Minutes
Chester le Street to Washington Galleries via (A1/A195/A182) - 10 Minutes
Washington Galleries to Boldon via (A231/A19) - 10 Minutes
Boldon to North Shields via Jarrow - 28 Minutes (Could be done in Less)
North Shields to Whitley Bay via Tynemouth - 29 Minutes
Total: 91 Minutes (1 Hour 31 Minutes)
