1092 never quite looked or performed the same as in its Badgerline days with Northern Bus, but it still looked very fine in their livery

After facing an uncertain future 1092 joined the Northern Bus fleet and was repaired, including the fitting of side-by-side destination blinds in place of the original T-type layout

This front-end damage was received in service whilst on the 376 service. It would have spelled the end for most 20-year-old buses
