Every 503 & 576 bus in Halifax is getting de-branded for the interworking of the 503 & 576.

Why would you want to interwork the 503 & 576? I can't see any benefit.
37058 has been debranded in Bradford as well. Still operating the 645 though. That shows the difference between Leeds and Bradford allocations!

37056-58 debranded probably because route is increasing frequency from every 12 minutes to every 10 minutes.

If they are debranding the 503's & 576's because of interworking in Halifax, wouldn't that be the reason in Bradford too?

Isn't the 503 going to be every 8 minutes (surely the most frequent bus service to enter a WY bus station?) Mondays to Saturdays so it wouldn't work at those times. The only time I can see this happening is Sunday daytimes when both the 501/503 and 576 operate every 20 minutes.

Yes it is going to be on Sundays only. Surely there's enough non-branded Geminis available on Sundays to run in service. Unless the buses are due for a repaint and have new branding applied.

In that case, I can't see the debranding being due to Sunday interworking. The 508 used to interwork with the 535 but the 508 was branded. In Huddersfield, half a dozen services interwork with each other on Sundays, but various have been branded.
Presumably it is either because they have abandoned branding for good, or they are going to apply new branding.

So it's safe to assume that buses aren't being de-branded *just* because of new Sunday service interworking. Why would that be a problem anyway, will people really complain about a lime green themed bus turning up in Elland?!

There seemed to be a regular appearance of a Halifax Green Line branded Wright Eclypse on the 503 for a while, so its not as if its anything new. Perhaps Huddersfield's lack of enthusiasm for route branding is expanding!

60826 has lost it"s Blue Line 607 branding

60823 also without 'Blue Line' branding and on the 677 today, will be interesting to see if the 620 buses are debranded over the weekend as well as it appears to be all of the routes which are having frequency increases so far.

66706 & 66707 both in Bradford on the 607 today. First's branding strategy is becoming even more confusing because far from removing Yellow Line branding, it has been updated with the 'every 10 minutes' cicrcles.

66708 & 66711 both now in Halifax.
10039, 10040, 10042 are all in service. The 95 still had lots of double decks operating alongside these.
