Oldham 476 was repainted into pommard and cream in the very early days of SELNEC before either the orange livery or the new numbering were decided and never actually carried the allocated SELNEC number shown.

I had at first thought this was a morning extra journey returning from Manchester but the angle of the sun makes it mid-to-late afternoon and I’m not sure exactly what it was working. Oldham didn’t usually work afternoon extra journeys on the 10.
