Only that it suggests that the original vehicle to which it was issued in 1959 might have been a 'Northern' one.
At some stage, decisions must have been made to retain that plate number, either because the vehicle remained in the fleet (possibly as trainer or recovery vehicle) and then retained for periodic use by newer vehicles.
Does GNE have a 'historian'?
I wasn't aware that 'Voyager' was a GNE / Northern brand.
