5183 is using Hudson Street in Hollinwood on 3rd July 1980 as a terminal point due to roadworks. The erstwhile Manchester to Oldham line crosses behind and the end of Hollinwood station platform can be seen. The low bridge here was not beneficial to the health of double deckers, however I believe it only claimed one victim unlike the far more notorious one the other end of the station on Bower Lane. This latter claimed numerous double deck bus roofs until it was rebuilt in conjunction with the construction of the M60.
