Not sure if this has already been done, but thought I'd start a thread listing any buses that originally ran for any company in West Yorkshire that now operate elsewhere, especially those of unusual interest such as a bus which operated for a lengthy period of time for any operator throughout the county from new for example.
I'll start off with one of the BMC ex Metro school buses from Huddersfield I think (sorry didn't get the registration as I saw it from a hill position with a fence in the way) operating one of the ferry shuttles in Holyhead, what gave it away was the number blinds, showed 363 on the reverse and what looked like 306 on the front in the roller blind style that those buses were fitted with.

I think this ex AY Dennis Lance has to take the award of most neglected former AY Bus. I know this was years ago but still. Dont know how anyone can send a bus out looking like that. |
