Northern oddballs

The two well-known Northern General rebuilds posing together at Washington depot on 10 February 1978. The Wearsider (3069) was a Routemaster converted to OMO following an accident, whilst the Tynesider (3000) received more drastic surgery to the same aim. Neither were successful and I believe that the latter has survived.

 

Scanned from a slide taken by the late Charles Dean, now in my collection. Sharpened and tidied up with Meta AI.
