The 46, 46A, 51/51A, 52, 53, 54, 55 are all a bit iffy and they don't really have anything to drag them out. The 306/308 is still overserved, the 43/44/45 all seem to be really struggling. What's left there, not much really. It's not really a surprise they're trying to spread it out between Blyth and Ashington which no doubt do alright.306 & 308 given the move to Blyth, would be best dropped to every 20 minutes (every 10 on common sections) with the 306 kept on the Coast Road out of Battle Hill and both the 306/308 interworking.
That and some sort of coordinated timimg with GNE's 1 between North Shields and Whitley Bay with a 20 minute frequency on the 306 would work well.
