Does anyone know whether many HJC ex-London Metrobuses are still in service?
I am planning to come to the area in late Feb/March and hope some will still be then!

Yes there is, you are guaranteed to see around 10 in service on a weekday and about 3 or 4 in service on a Saturday. They are currently painting twin door Metrobus B162 WUL so I doubt that will be going soon.

Many thanks for assuring me of HJC still running ex-London Metrobus Mk 1s even on Saturdays. I went to Halifax today and was pleased to ride ex-London M1162 and M624. I was concerned that they could be replaced by ex-Dublin Olympians before long.
I timed my trip to Halifax in the hope of ending up having travelled on these buses in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s!
I was dismayed to see a Tesco-livery Dary on Huddersfield local route 357 but I easily achieved my main objective and that's the main thing.

I assume that was during late afternoon as the Tesco bus was correctly on the Tesco service until it stops running at 3pm and one of the Dublin Olys was on the 357.
The Metrobuses only very rarely operate the 357 its mostly in the hands of the Dublin Olympians

Yes the Tesco Dart comes of the C70 and heads over to Huddersfield to start the 357 on Saturdays
