7138 waits in the bus station at Mumps on 13th September 1980. It would seem that a crew change is taking place - this was (and still is) frustrating when you were only headed into the middle of Oldham and the new driver wasn't ready. Is it quicker to get off and walk? This scene remained unchanged for many years until the bus station closed in December 2011 as part of the rebuilding of the area associated with Metrolink.
