Genuine question, are the 693xx and 694xx eclipses at Huddersfield being swapped for B9TL Geminis? As I two 377s arrived for Huddersfield whereas two 693s left for Hunslet Park. I think you may have answered your own question there.

Thanks, I was just making sure since I have noticed that Halifax's cascades are to replace the euro 3 Volvo B7RLEs and B7TLS so I thought Huddersfield was going to follow in the same footsteps.

With the recent 377++ transfers to Halifax & Huddersfield be interesting to see if 37730 & 37732 move over as these are in city of Bradford & the old Bradford colours. 37730 & 37732 still in service in Bradford today

Just like 69323 which transfered from Old Fieldhouse Lane to Hunslet Park from HD Connect to Leeds City.

Goodbye to the vast majority single deckers in Halifax I guess. Which Eclipse has this replaced?

I think you may have answered your own question there. I think 69323/29 have gone to Leeds from Hudds, but 69419 was still in service at Hudds a couple of days back. I haven't seen 69330 for a while, so that may be at Leeds. AFAIK 69324 is still at Hudds. As always, i stand to be corrected if i'm wrong.

Also speaking of 376s one of them have arrived at Huddersfield. I saw it briefly however I can't remember which exact vehicle it was and where it was from.

Or they could just use single deckers like they have done for about 25 years? If they put a decker on in error or changeover and it hits the bridge, insurance won't pay out. Single deck work happened around 1999. First employed a full time insurance bloke. His job was to look out for everything that needed fixing, improving or sorting. Passenger fall frauds, accidents being brought in front of court. Blame/claim. He was an ex-copper. He's passed away now. I forget his name Roy Tanner did accident investigation at York and was an ex copper.

It's inconvenient to have them on the X63 since the service is non stop between Bradford and Osdal, the bus gets stuck behind stopper services on the guided busway so it would be better just to run them along the main road.

X63 stops at Mayo Avenue between Bradford and Odsal in both directions.
