Vehicle: GMT 5888 (MJA 888G)
Location: Yorkshire Street, Oldham
Date: 9-Apr-1980

Even in the last years of Oldham Corporation, Grains Bar was only used as a terminal point on Sunday mornings, so the destination display seen here on 5888 was almost certainly incorrect as the 422 never terminated there. 5888 has recently been repaired after a rear-end accident which left it without the waistrail moulding in that area, as can be partly seen in the picture. At the back of the bus can be seen the art deco facade of the UCP restaurant, where tripe would most certainly be on the menu - UCP stood for United Cattle Products.
