Yes Arriva ran the short 319 on Sundays from Jarrow to Cramlington, would of been around 2005/2006, not sure if they ran it up to the point it was withdrawn in 2007
They never ran to Jarrow at that point, it was only between Wallsend and Cramlington. The Wallsend to Jarrow part was still part of the 9, whilst the 9A went to North Shields.

IIRC the GNE 9 and the Arriva 319 wouldn't connect at Wallsend going towards Sunderland, as the 9 would have had departed minutes before the 319 would have arrived.
