The 9 to North Shields is a bit of a dog leg really and people wanting that route can use the ferry anyway. 

Cobalt and Silverlink are arguably places where people South of the Tyne are more likely to want to go not to mention the connections between all 4 Metro lines (Fellgate / Jarrow / Percy Main / Northumberland Park)

Whether you do it via Howdon rather than Percy Main could be an option though? It's certainly a nicer Metro station.

This aside one route that badly needs changed is the 32/32A it's clearly a legacy route linking the whole West End to a hospital that doesn't exist anymore and goes on a magical mystery tour. Surely going to Kingston Park instead of Kenton and going towards the Metro Centre rather than duplicating the 10 buses to Newcastle would be a better use of it?
