I think the 27 would be completely withdrawn, as it practically follows the entire metro route between South Shields and Newcastle.

Even though the 27 follows the Metro route there still seems to be a large demanding considering the route operates every 10 minutes. at none peak times it still has reasonable loads and at peak times your lucky if you get a seat. I myself use it to travel from Jarrow to Newcastle daily and by the time the bus has arrived at Jarrow I'm lucky to get a seat.
