Some of these services have very long layovers as a result of the changes, the 39B for example will have 38 minutes at Washington. Also worth noting the 49 will now interwork with the 96 based on the stands at Gateshead interchange.
Also, I don't know Eldon Square that well, but can stands accommodate more than 1 bus? Unless the 21 and 10/10A/10B have layover times of 1 minute then there''s a slight overlap between 1 bus arriving and another departing - in reality I'd imagine they'd miss each other but still seems strange on the off chance. What complicates matters more is that the 10/10A/10B also overlap with the 12, which may suggest they're interworking, presumably for driver changeovers.
