Historically, the 5 is the old 521 route from Jarrow to Fellgate, and the old 533 route from Fellgate to South Shields via Boldon.
As for the 10/11 (assuming you mean the Stagecoach South Shields routes), these used to be a circle, but the Simonside to South Shields via Laygate section was dropped in favour of Nexus supported extensions initially to Jarrow via Low Simonside and Hill Park (replacing the old 522) and then to North Shields (replacing the 319 minibus). In short, they're routes made of a**e ends of other routes.
