Don't think the new 22 is going to be much of a threat to the 309 / X39 although it could affect the 1 judging by the times. However, judging by the loadings of the 310 tonight from North Shields towards Newcastle (both short runs to Norham Road and full runs to Newcastle), I think GNE will end up doing the following to fully protect themselves from the 22.
Like what Arriva do to the 306 by cutting the full westbound route to every 30 minutes during Monday to Friday afternoons, I think they might end up doing that with the 310 and using the half hourly vehicles to provide more buses between Cobalt and Newcastle during peak times.

Actually the Citaro and the Cito are 2 completely different vehicles.
This is what a Mercedes Cito looks like - https://www.flickr.com/photos/tec869/161...KRt-s2Bkf6
Though the ones I went on operated with MIVB STIB (Brussels City Transport)

I have chose to post it in this thread rather than the one that would seem most relevant based on the fact that it may generate a bit more discussion causing the thread to go off topic.
