I'm not really familiar with Teesside Park (only ever been there once) but I agree that Team Valley is not really convenient for buses given where the bus-stops are located and the potential for queuing traffic both on Tenth Avenue and Kingsway.
It can be a nightmare just getting into Metrocentre on a Saturday - imagine if the X22 had to contend with a busy Team Valley too.
