The number 1s were same in Leeds (on eves and suns as a 1A when this went thru Bodington Hall) sometimes said A1 as the couldnt be bothered to move the 1 so added the "A" at begining same with the 28 (A28) |

Huddersfield Limited Stop was commonly displayed on the Verde's on routes like 380/381. Also they had an I in the destination which often got used instead of a 1! When they used to do the M1 they had many variations including M1, M01, MI, M0I, and even once 01M!!
Anyway, back on topic, 30818 on the 363 on 31/12/09-slightly late I know!

Keighley & District Leyland Olympians 972 H142GGS and 977 H147GGS are on 760s today - probably cos the 662s and 760s are running very late and are been used as extra vehicles
