I remember the Merc's very well, and the other buses allocated to the 18. (Very vaugly remember the 19 too and how they used to loop, and I'm aware of a peak service 20 which used to serve Chesters Avenue in Longbenton), but I have to question you about the former Quaylinks? Granted I've only lived in Walker for 12 years, but I've lived on the 18 route my whole life, with me living in High Heaton for the first 10 years of my existence.
