huddsbus, 37713 has returned to Halifax. But it did make sense for it to end up on the Dewsbury corridor since it has HX Connect which features a blue front just like LeedsCity Blue, although it arguably is sort of lighter.

Username, 184 has been withdrawn from Greater Manchester and new route 184 in Huddersfield probably replaced 183. It is mostly run by 06-plate Volvo B7TL Wright Eclipse Geminis although any vehicle can turn up on that route.

Just to clarify to the above post's. The 184 service Hudds bus stn-Oldham run by Hudds depot interworks with the 181 and possibly 185 and is run with B9/B7 TL's/ Eclipse 2's and Streetlite's (short and Max), as it's my local route iv'e noted the bulk of the services passing my door are B9TL operated.

35211 (SL16 RFO) has transferred to Olive Grove, replacing 37228 (YN57 RJU) A sad fact about that B9TL... It is the one to be formally withdrawn which isn't something to do with a bridge fight, fire or a bad crash. I believe the issues were more minor side. It was mentioned that the parts are increasingly becoming rare and expensive. I guess from now on we'll see a lot more withdrawn and doner volvo's.

Book value of the 57 reg B9s are about 2k at the moment. Not sure what parts are rare as most are universal.

It was a natural withdrawal, which makes it unique. They maybe refering to the 07-09 G1s. I believe they're quite different internally compared to a G2, even with the same chassis.

Has the last Volvo B9TL Wright Eclipse Gemini still in Olympia in Huddersfield been painted into HD Connect yet? The last two olympia liveries have gone to the paint shop being 47496 and 47497. I think they might do MF72s later to feature the blue front.

It's weird that the new vehicles haven't already been repainted. I remember hearing a little while after they arrived that they were intended for a different area but changed either during or after they were manufactured. It wouldn't surprise me considering the amount of vehicles ordered is higher than the PVR of the 328.
