5888 was originally Stockport 88 and was one of four surprise additions to Oldham's fleet in 1971, still in Stockport red and white. I remember a friend commenting, as we boarded one in Uppermill, "look how they've tried to tart up these old buses with modern plastic trim". The conductor pointed out, and I concurred, that the bus was barely two years old at the time! They were the last open platform buses to enter service in the UK. Behind 5888 can be seen a panorama of Greenfield as it was on 24th March 1972.
