The connections coming back are painful. For all the buses between the QE and Wrekenton, having one which connects with the 25 isn't that easy. 
Depending on the time of day, it may be easier heading to Gateshead and picking something up from there. Ideally a 25, but more than likely a 21 and a hike up from Birtley. 

As for the X20, I did wonder if there was gonna be at least some Chester workings on an evening. Quite a bit of dead mileage, unless it somehow ties in with a 20
