That Netherton Horbury School Service runs of the 6:15 128 departure from Dewsbury and runs out of Service from Wakefield.

That's why it's rarely an Enviro or even an Eclipse.

It also explains why some drivers prefer to go down the Horbury bypass and approach the school from the Wakefield direction so they have an easier exit back towards Grange Moor

The morning service uses the number 231 because its run by Arriva Dewsbury and they changed it when they got the 231/2 sunday/evening services, the afternoon one run by Wakefield depot uses the number 535
