One of Huddersfield's newly repainted B9TL's, (red front), back out in service today totally devoid of any branding/decals. Sorry, didn't get fleet no.

One on 370/371's, the other on 310/314 group of services. I've only mentioned 310 & 314, as that is what I saw it parked up in bus station showing those route numbers

I remember when the Royale's first got "Holmfirth Connection" branding, apart from the peak-time runs, they were usually on any other decker route apart from the Holme Valley's.

The red front appears cover the same area as the yellow fronts on the Zest vehicles(route 503). I assume there will be a number and when all are done they will be allocated to a route. Any ideas which route would be appreciated.

Any ideas which route would be appreciated. Around 10 or 12 are being done essentially for the Holmfirth Connection services.

I think the new livery looks good, and is a welcome initiative. But the 324 is the Huddersfield to Meltham service and doesn't go anywhere near the Holme Valley.

Latest repaints at Hunslet Park are 37292 & 37298 in Holme Valley Connection base livery like 37291 / 37293 - 37295 and 40976 in Olympia livery with Halifax skylines.

Hard to believe but parts of Meltham are in the Holme Valley. Local councillors on Kirklees Council for the part of Meltham where I live represent an area known as Holme Valley North. If Kirklees can call it Holme Valley then First can do so as well.

Kev, you sure the Halifax Dart is 40974? I thought it was 40976, YV03UOU. Think Hx could be getting up to four of these but I'm sure only 40976 has been received so far.

I live not too far from Meltham myself and despite Meltham now having a Holmfirth postcode inflicted on them,and local politicians deciding to alter area names to garner more votes, Meltham is NOT and never has been part of the Holme Valley, either geographically or historically.

The other three are at Halifax, one expected to be a donor, the other two for service replacing early Solos
