524 v144 mak is now sporting the go green vinyls like the centros this proves HBC must have a sense of humour as anyone following one of these tired B6/sprytes uphill usually gets sprayed with black soot these old dogs are probably the most ungreen buses on huddersfields roads

I'm not a fan of the fleetname going across two panels like that. It's surely only because they've only got one size of fleetname available
I also wonder why the 384 doesn't serve the new Brighouse Bus station now

I think the fleet names look good like that, i didn't like them at first but it's growing on me now, and i think when they change the times on the 384 (Which they probably will do) i think they would make it serve Brighouse B/s and not serve Asda either because the bus was struggling to get round the car park, bumping it up on kerbs etc. and also the 3 times i've been on that route no-one has ever got on it there.

Yes they do, both have been painted and are used on 384/5 services.

X233MBJ has now been transferred to Bowers Coaches I am not surprised. I have always thought that X233MBJ was reliveried to red for them, but 'borrowed' before they got it due to HBC having to step in to quickly take over route 384/5 from Loonat. Has X232MBJ been seen lately?

Any ideas when they are going to finish repainting the remaing Olympians because some look in a right state

Huddersfield bus have now presumably received a new MAN / Plaxton Centro (FJ59 FYT) in unbranded Denby Dale green livery and (is?) currently in service.

This vehicle is actually for Bowers, for service 61 Glossop - Buxton which is to be branded in the same Go Green style as the 80 group of services at Waterloo. This vehicle is numbered 650 and should be joining sister 648 (FJ09ZKC) in the Peak District shortly. As far as I know it wasn't due to enter service at Waterloo and if it has catch it quick cause it won't be there for long.

Does anybody know where X212 HHE (732) is because last time I saw it in service was about 4-5 month ago and last time I saw it was in the DAF Garage on Leeds Road in Bradley.
