On a bright sunny and snowy 4th January 2003, 4031 starts the descent from Standedge towards Oldham on the long straight passing the Floating Light. This is one location where the open road is still truly open and driving remains a pleasure. To the right can be seen the lane dropping down to Diggle which is now used by the 184 service; the section of road being used by 4031 no longer has a bus service.
