Hard one to really pick the right operator without splitting it.Another one you could do is Route the 12 along Westbourne Avenue and the Fossway,then re-route the 40 upto Walker bus terminal and Titan Road,resuming its route at Welbeck Road
It's poor the Wallsend links for St Peters Basin like.
Personally though the 18 would be better merged with the 6/7 and the Freeman -> BT Call Centre been covered by an extended 38 every 30 mins imo. Would give Stoneleigh Avenue a faster service to Newcastle (they already have Byker) and give Heaton / Byker a direct link through to Gosforth and beyond including the beloved Kingston Park on hereand just get arid of it altogether similar to the 62 extension in West Newcastle.
