Just thinking out loud with regard the changes to the Durham Road/Wrekenton/Kibblesworth changes and congestion in Low Fell, Birtley etc.
Is it worth utilising Saltwell Road, Belle Vue Bank and Beaconsfield Road a bit more?
Gateshead Council love playing with their traffic lights, so with a bit of work, the priorities outside The Cannon could enable this to work.
I would have suggested Dryden Road, but that is poor for parked cars.
Everything ploughs along Durham Road, but Saltwell Road is under utilised, Belle Vue Bank is barely touched, Beaconsfield Road was on a commercial route way back when, but just sees the odd scholars service these days.
Is there a viable route using a combination of those, but still serve Low Fell, Gateshead and Newcastle?
Newcastle - Gateshead Metro - Coatsworth Road - Saltwell Road - Belle Vue Bank - Low Fell and continues to destination?
Newcastle - Gateshead - Old Durham Road - Beaconsfield Road, Belle Vue Bank, Saltwell Road - Chowdene Bank - Beacon Lough - Old Durham Road - Gateshead - Newcastle
