The L reg one could have been 30752 of Huddersfield on a 539 service from that town. As this bus is the only one of its type in Huddersfield (unless 30753 been reinstated) it could have been transfer to Halifax as Huddersfield/Halifax regurlarly swop older buses over. However I did see it in/Around Huddersfield bus station on 28/02/09 but could see what service it was on

No it's definatly not one of Huddersfield's because I have seen it, I think it is an Ex First Bristol or First Somerset and Avon bus I just can't remember the registration plate.

Hi all,
The following three former First Bristol Volvo Olympian/Northern Counties Palatine IIs have been withdrawn now at Halifax and are rumoured to be transferring to First Devon & Cornwall:
34045 P245UCW,
34047 P247UCW,

This leaves just one, 34046 P246UCW remaining in service.
