It was the 936! I can't get a hold of a timetable unfortunately though.
It was launched on Monday 10 November 2008.
"North Shields - Preston Grange - North Tyneside - Hospital Hadrian Park
In response to requests from customers, Go North East will be introducing a new service 936 running from Hadrian Park via North Tyneside Hospital and Morrisons at Preston Grange to North Shields on a trial period until end of March 2009"
It was very much on a "use it or lose it" basis!

I seem to recall the 936 operating an anti-clockwise loop around Hadrian Park. Surely if people are going to be waiting at bus stops in the clockwise direction for then existing 40/40C/41/41C and 58, then it might have helped the 936 if it also operated clockwise so passengers would be more likely to see the bus stop times that it operated?
I think most links are still retained though from Hadrian Park? Changing between 40/58 with 309/310? Could be beneficial to see Arriva's NexusBus 335 extended from Cobalt to somewhere useful during out of peak hours perhaps. I believe the original plan by Nexus for the 335 was for it to run beyond Cobalt to North Shields Ferry, and beyond Four Lane Ends to Quorum - didn't materialise unfortunately.
