69480 at Halifax seen on 508, dont know why Bradford there swapping 09 reg for 05 reg Might be due, to getting the average age of the fleets, at both depots down.

Don't know why anybody hasn't said anything yet but in Huddersfield 30841 has been withdrawn a few month ago leaving 3084x fleet with just 2 of them. 30840 and 30843.

Apparently it's all to do with wing mirrors the ex Bradford ones are going to todmorden so they can fit more in the garage! The 69*** batch that Halifax already have bigger wing mirrors so they can't fit as many in !

Mustn't grumble, Bradford does better than Halifax but nobody does as well as Leeds

Indeed, and the early ALX400's that aren't in the expected design for wheelchair access will be gone soon

One of Huddersfield deckers with the "bold" red front has aquired "Holme Valley Connection" wording on the front and off side(and near side I assume). Number not known as I was travelling in the opposite direction in my car.

Number not known as I was travelling in the opposite direction in my car. IMPORTANT NOTE TO EVERYBODY Tonight, at Huddersfield Bus Station, I saw an Elderly man wearing a Black Hi-viz coat, BUT, not an Employee of First/Tiger/Tiger Blue/Stotts/TLC/Arriva, walk over to the layover area, JUST to take a photo of one of the ones, that now have Branding applied to them. He took his photo, while in the carriageway, and gave me abuse, when I mentioned to him, that he wasn't supposed to be in that area. Now, I know most Enthusiasts, obey the rules, that are in place for everybody's safety, but, it only takes, one like tonight, and things change for the worse.

Things are going to get crazy in Huddersfield, this is the first transfer of many! It was always the intention by First, to withdraw the existing step-entrance Olympians (Royale or RH bodied) in Huddersfield, Halifax and Bradford, by the end of July, and replace them with the ex-WY Gemini's that went to SY a few years back. From what i can gather, there's still four Royale's still in service at Hudd's, 30815/6/21/23, although any or all of them could be withdrawn imminently.

Where was Security around Huddersfield Bus station. Even so this enthusiast shouldn't be doing whatever he wants, because he wants the best pics of buses. If anything he's endangering his own safety, as well as disrupting other bus drivers such as yourself whereami, and passengers with his behaviour.

And I think 30816 is withdrawn

In dewsbury the cleaners r the ones to spot people walking on the carriage way b4 the security staff and drivers.
