...And don't forget the other buses running between Newcastle and Chester:

721: Newcastle - Chester (hourly - left Worswick Street at 27 mins past the hour)
725: Newcastle - East Hedleyhope (hourly - left Worswick Street at 48 mins past the hour)
726: Newcastle - Witton Gilbert (hourly - left Worswick Street at 20 mins past the hour)
733: Newcastle - Chester-le-Street (hourly - left Worswick Street at 35 mins past the hour)

So that's 12 buses per hour between Newcastle and Chester.

EDIT: - You have included them - IGNORE!
