That article seems a bit wrong to me, the current 309/310/311 have nothing to do with the service they''re describing there. The 309 is a split off from the 308 which is was ran by them which has always existed but they lost it after the bus war, the 311 is irrelevant and I'm not sure on the history of the current 310 but it doesn't run between Shields and Blyth.
Seems like someone is getting confused with the old 310 Blyth to Sunderland service which is now long gone which I'm guessing would've been the route described here which got ditched awhile back now.
