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?
I was always under the impression the bus was heading back to Murton from Easington Lane light coming off an X5 and that it happened just before Murton Moor Farm just as you come into Murton.
Even if he was coming from Houghton, time and distance wise I dont think it makes a difference going up Seaham Rd to Seaton and into Murton that way or coming up through Hetton as the depot was at the bottom end of the Village
