If you have a SNE only pass, you may not opt for the ferry and stick with bus. Also depends on whereabouts on route you are.
Better to sort the ticketing problem out there though.
The Tunnel service should be connected to the 9 imo, the 10/11 is a dog leg route and there's nothing to note on either side why you'd want to use it.
Personally I'd always love to see the 57A from Ashington to Cramlington, 19 from Cramlington to Percy Main then the 9 from Jarrow to Sunderland all bolted together as one long route giving decent cross Tyne links and a reasonable link between Northumberland Park / Percy Main / Jarrow and Fellgate Metro stations.
People from Jarrow might actually want to go to Cobalt and Silverlink if a decent link was provided.
