The old North Eastern Railway bus would have transported passengers and their luggage to their accommodation in Seaton Carew.

The double-decker, carrying 72 passengers, was travelling from West Hartlepool to Port Clarence when the bus went out of control near Seaton Carew. The bus ended up on its side in a field which was 6 feet below road level. One man, Charles William Taylor of Middlesbrough, was killed and a woman, Doreen Makin of West Hartlepool, suffered chest injuries.

The trams began running from West Hartlepool to Seaton in 1903 and stopped running in 1927.

The tram terminus was at the Seaton Hotel and became known as Kelly's Corner because of the congestion caused with passengers embarking and disembarking.
