If it arrived in Halifax so late to be not very useful (50 mins late say on an hourly frequency), you may as well run dead back to pick up the service later.

witnessed a Live breakdown, 2 Gemini B9TL's accidentally bumped into each other, Corner of East Parade one was the 33A. and Headrow/Westgate possibly an x6 or 72. (infront of town hall) . It is a very blind junction, so any vehicle would have to be careful, (even when drivers can think its safe to go through a yellow, or as it turns red) would assume it was minor accident as it was at low impact.

Most likely to be one of the Castleford based ones 708-713 given the livery and direction of travel
