These Northern General REs were delivered in red and cream but were repainted into National white within six months. 79L later became 5030 and 4879 but here has its original age-related fleet number, a very short-lived Northern General policy. It has just left Corlton Street coach station, as it had just become, on the very limited stop X98.
