30285 had previously been 5302 and was one of a handful of these Northern Counties Metrobuses to receive national fleetnumbers. It has only a few months left to run but was still considered fit for the trip over the Pennines to Halifax and is seen here on its return entering Cheapside bus station in Oldham on 2nd April 2005. Note the mixture of fade-out vinyls and block paintwork on the two front corners of the bus.
