As far as I can ascertain (and this is not exhaustive).
X5 Sunderland to Hartlepool becomes 55/55A/55X
X6 and X7 seem only to be Sunderland to Peterlee with Hartlepool extension on X6 gone (I stand to be corrected).
X21 Newcastle to Bishop Auckland extended to Tindale Crescent and replacing withdrawn service 18 in the Bishop Auckland area.
X25 Newcastle to Langley Park renumbered 25 and will continue to operate the whole route.
1/1A Whitley Bay to Wrekinton revised - the timetables were being updated when I looked and it looks as though the 1 continues to Wrekinton with the 1A replacing the 11 between Gateshead and Metrocentre. I assume the 1B is the evening loop Metrocentre to Lobely Hill. The 1A extension to the Metrocentre isn't showing though.
8/8A Sunderland to Stanley seem to be timing revisions only.
11 will become Wallsend to North Shields as already suggested.
13 and 14 Durham to Langley Park are timing revisions.
28B Chester-le-Street to Birtley extended to Newcastle to replace evening service 1A.
20/20A/X20 South Shields to Durham times revised only.
35/35A Heworth Sunderland to Hetton revised.
36 Castletown Sunderland to Chester-le-Street withdrawn with 71 returning to the Houghto-le-Spring to Chester-le-Street stretch.
78/78A Sundlerand to Consett seem to be timing revisions only.
One missed is that the 15 and 15A Consett to Durham will be renumbered X15 and X5 respectively. I query whether this is an error.
I dont get why the 55X cant be numbered as the X55 since GNE dont already have an X55
