Routes involved are 18/18A, 319, 85 / 86 and number of work services. Possibly a few others but not sure how much truth is in it. Apparently the 319 is going to go to Heworth too hence why I'm not sure. Phoenix is to run the 18/18A apparently and GNE the 319.

Would be good to have Phoenix or GNE on 13, 32A, Little Coasters and 84/84A.Oh dear,you said Little Coasters,you know now a certain service will get mentioned

The 319 is an awful bus route imo. Whatever bus that goes through the tunnel should at least go to Cobalt (even just pay Stagecoach to extend the 10/11 all day additionally serving Percy Main for Metro changes). No-one wants to go from North Shields to Jarrow and there's the Ferry / Metro anyway.
