In 1968/1969 the Makinson business (together with the associated business North Manchester Motor Coaches Limited) was bought by Yelloway Motor Services Limited of Rochdale. Whilst no vehicles were involved in these takeovers this coach was leased for a few months along with a similar coach bearing the North Manchester fleetname (GNE 941E).
