This small batch of Willowbrook-bodied AEC Reliances bought by North Western were quite distinctive with the unusual Viking body. 830 (RDB 830) is passing through Milnsbridge on a X99 to Liverpool. As an X99 it will be going from Manchester to Liverpool via Eccles. This vehicle only received fleet livery in 1966, having run until then in the blue and cream colours of the Melba Motors subsidiary.
