Got a couple of odd workings from today. Both where at Huddersfield bus station.

Stagecoach 14198 (J198HFR), an Alexander RL bodied Leyland Olympian, which according to the Stagecoach hand book is stored in the North East, was working route 81 to Clayton West.

The other working was Arriva 1412 (YJ57BVW). This is one of the new Commanders that have just been introduced on routes 126 and 127 which connect Wakefield and Dewsbury. It carries branding for these routes.
This was operating route 202 to Leeds in place of the normal double decker.

I dont think this can happen to often as the number of seats available to passengers is greatly reduced and the bus was already busy when leaving Huddersfield.

The Olympian has been moved to Huddersfield, and if your Stagecoach Handbook is made by British Bus Publishing, I would take what is written in there as not gospel. You find numerous errors in them!

J198 HFR as been working in Doncaster for the past 9 months, but you are right it did come from the North East.

Hi,

Ive managed (finally) to get a number of pictures of misallocations onto my site. They are taken over the last few weeks. I posted all these misallocations in the normal misallocation thread but have only recently got the pictures onto my fotopic site.

On the 14/11/07 K-Line Optare Solo 23 (MX04VMG) was working the Huddersfield Free Town Bus service in place of one of the normal FTB Solos.

On the 23/11/07 First Halifax Gemini 32513 (YJ54XUB) was working the 503 Huddersfield - Halifax but carries branding for the 508 Halifax - Leeds.

A couple from this morning at a very sunny Huddersfield bus station. Got pictures of both so better to put them in this thread.

First Huddersfield Eclipse Urban Volvo B7RLE 66751 (YJ05KOD) working the 342 Almondbury service. This bus carries branding for the 301/302 Yellow line.

PS, If I knew it was you Jack stood on the central reservation by the exit of the bus station this morning I would have come and said hi. You got a better shot of 30843 though.

[jackh]

David, have you got the photo of 30843 on the 328 outside Sainsburys in Buses out of curiosity? If so, you may have upset somebody! daniel-stazicker.fotopic.net/p48404893.html

Sorry for the late reply, ive been in Amsterdam for the last week and a bit.

I have not got my pic of 30843 in the latest issue of BUSES. I sent my picture, a while after I took it, to the editor but he already had another picture of the bus. This picture, which has been published, was taken by a guy called Stephen Whiteley.

Looking at the picture in the mag and the picture you have linked to they are taken by different people. They have been taken at the same location but seem to be on different days as the passengers are different.

I have, however, had three other pictures published in the current issue of BUSES on pages 40/41 as part of the article about Transdev.

I have created a gallery on my fotopic site showing the pics I have had published in BUSES magazine.
