Proposed:
307 - 00:00
308 - 00:15
309 - 00:30
306 - 00:45

Suggested:
- 307 - 00:05
- 308 - 00:15
- 306 - 00:35
- 309 - 00:45

GNE 307 & 309
307 ex Newcastle: 00:05
307 arr North Shields: 00:47
307 ex North Shields: 00:48
307 arr Newcastle: 01:35
309 ex Newcastle: 01:45
309 arr Blyth: 02:47
309 ex Blyth: 02:50
309 arr Newcastle: 03:55

ANE 308 & 306 - would now interwork
308 ex Newcastle: 00:15
308 arr Blyth: 01:09
308 ex Blyth: 01:29
308 arr Newcastle: 02:25
306 ex Newcastle: 02:35
306 arr Tynemouth: 03:17
306 ex Tynemouth: 03:24
306 arr Newcastle: 04:05

Note last GNE journey ex Newcastle at 23:45 would operate as 307 and terminate at Norham Road.

Note that last 306 journey ex Tynemouth if 306/308 were to go fully Blyth operated would be 22:24.

Personally I don't see the point in 4 night buses along the Coast Road it's not the busiest corridor in North Tyneside

If there's night buses in North Tyneside it should be something like:
N1: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/54.97642...6d!1m0!3e0 - Hourly
N2: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/54.97642...7d!1m0!3e0 - Hourly
N3: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/54.97746...28!1m0!3e0 - Hourly
N4: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/54.97663...a0!1m0!3e0 - Hourly
N5: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/54.97663...31!1m0!3e0 - Hourly

You'd serve where the people actually are. The Metro is by far the busiest routes in North Tyneside hence the service should be there.

The 39/40 would both run hourly aswell but they're not really North Tyneside and that's pretty much everyone served.

London has a different night time network to during the day for the same reason.
