3789 Go Ahead Northern MCW Metrobus

I was only 4 at the time but I seem to remember someone telling me about it.

I can't remember it, but have seen the video. There are photos on flickr too.

The only thing that puzzled me on seeing it, but why on a wet, wind night, did the driver go up onto the exposed Seaham Road to get back to Murton Depot?
He couldn't get onto the A19 at Seaton, I doubt he could have taken it through the back lanes of Murton across the lines - so will have had to go all the way through Seaham.
Why didn't he just go through Hetton and along through to Murton that way?
