407 was one of a large batch of Bristol K5Gs bought by North Western just before the war and their first major double-deck purchase. In 1950-51 they were given new Willowbrook bodies as seen here and as a consequence the chassis gave very long service to the company. Peeling paint at the front is giving 407 a down-at-heel appearance towards the end of its life. It is at the Ashworth Street terminus and waiting to work a clockwise journey on the 153, going to Uppermill via Scouthead.
