Crawling Along: Arriva North East 1379/MX59 AAU VDL SB200 Wright Pulsar 2

I take a trip on ex-Merseyside 1379. But it was being dragged along the whole route this time. This was originally meant to be Redcar's Pulsar. This ended up staying at Stockton because of 1386's late arrival so 1386 was just sent to Redcar instead. This sounds brilliant but unfortunately every time I have it the driver is always slower than a slug. The driver also went the wrong way around the roundabout when turning towards Showcase Cinema in Teesside Park. I want to catch this on an X12 before it goes to see what its like on that. This also had some odd Journey Mark patched seating at the back. I caught this on the service 16 between Ingleby Barwick and Middlesbrough Via Thornaby and Teesside Park. The thumbnail credit goes to my mate.
