Albion Aberdonian 715 breasts the summit near the Moorcock above Denshaw. 715 was notable for being in an all red livery and was unique in the North Western fleet in this respect apart from, curiously, Royal Tiger 517 at Matlock.

Those who travelled on North Western buses in Saddleworth at the time would have no difficulty recognising the driver as Clifford, notable due to his girth. The spelling of Newhey is worthy of comment. It is believed the place was originally called New Hey but this changed many years ago to the single word Newhey, which is the version I have used in this gallery. However, this photograph shows that North Western always displayed "New Hey" and they were not alone as Manchester's buses also did. Oldham buses used the official spelling although that seems to have changed again more recently to be two words again.
