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.

(19 Jun 2021, 10:05 am)RMF1254 wrote What I think they are marking is the commencement of the service between Blyth and North Shields run by Tynemouth and District. I remember it as service 7 which ran from Blyth to North Shields Ferry. When the Tyne Tunnel opened one bus an hour ran through to Sunderland as service 60 with Northern becoming the joint operator. Eventually it became the 309/310. The Cobalt and Coast is now the closest to the route they are celebrating 100 years even if it now takes a slightly different route in Blyth. As an enthusiast I am so pleased to see the livery again whichever route it is on.
