And until the 80s a Dewsbury to Denholme I may be confusing 2 routes, but wasn't there an Ossett to Keighley service that Hebble ran, numbered 2 . Hebble ran a number 2 Halifax to Bingley service via Denholme, but I think there was also a number 3 from Ossett to Keighley run by West Riding.

Speaking of Hebble, a useful service for me would be the old 11 route from Raggalds Queensbury to Duckworth Lane via the back lanes of Clayton and Thornton

A remnant of the 2 ran as a once per school day 563 by Yorkshire Rider, largely to claim Bus Service Operator Grant on the fuel used - the service interworked with a school service. I caught it once from Halifax all the way to Bingley, on my second attempt. It left from the same stand at the same time as a 502 to Keighley and the first time the driver pulled off in the second bus without checking if any of the 20 people queuing wanted his bus.

Back in the 60s, Hebble ran the number 2 Halifax-Denholme-Bingley. I lived in Ovenden and often used this route to visit Bingley, or St Ives, walks down to Beckfoot and Myrtle Park etc, with my mum and later on my own. Yorkshire Woolen District also had a number 2 which was the Ossett-Halifax-Keighley service, meaning that Halifax-Cullingworth had two buses an hour for much of the day. (The Bingley route had an odd timetable as the first journey was 12.05 pm from Halifax, with just some short Cullingworth-Bingley journeys earlier, and the last one was I think 8.05 pm. In the late 60s more evening journeys were cut to be Bingley-Cullingworth only with connections on the YWD 2 to Halifax.) The number 3 was the Wakefield-Dewsbury-Mirfield-Brighouse-St Giles Road-Hipperholme-Stone Chair-Queensbury-Denholme-Cullingworth route. I thought it was run by West Riding alone but I read recently that YWD supplied 3 buses and West Riding only one. I always thought it seemed odd that Cullingworth and Denholme had a direct bus to Wakefield but Halifax didn't - perhaps it was something to do with the rural areas having links with West Riding County Council in Wakefield whereas Halifax was a County Borough and the borough provided all council services.

Was strange.

I remember when they had linked the 94 Drighlington with the eastern end of the old 5 route ( now 11 at the east end and 15 on the west end )
That was odd.
Anyone remember when they replaced the 94 with the 63 from Halton Dial. Then when first gave up.
Then Arriva ran the 63 extended it to Birstall they altered it after a couple of months they changed and integrated it into the 209
The 209 was already running the eves and suns 94 route and supporting eves and suns for the 219

In 1958 there was a Castleford to Wetherby service as well. Back in the 1930s, There was a Leeds to Fleetwood bus service every 2 hours from Leeds Bus Station Leeds-Stanningley-Bradford-Shipley-Salatire-Bingley-Keighley-Colne-Nelson-Burnley-Accrington-Blackburn-Preston-Lytham-St Annes-Blackpool-Cleveleys-Fleetwood took 4 hours and 25 mins all together The 175 ran Castleford to Wetherby from 1999ish to 2003ish as well - ran current route from Cas Vegas to Garforth but running via Kippax instead of Micklefield, then the current 174 route.

I've just had a thought, wasn't there a Summer only X4 or X5 which ran for a few Summers from Todmorden to somewhere on the West Coast (Lytham via Blackpool?) ran by Blue Bus about 20 to 25 years ago?

X4. Transdev kept it on for a couple of years after taking them over. It ran from Burnley to Blackpool and then onto Fleetwood. There was a planned route from Halifax via Todmorden to Blackpool, but I'm not sure it if ever actually ran. One short-lived company based in Honley had a route 90 planned (timetables went up at some stops but I think they collapsed before running it), which would have run Sowerby - Sowerby Bridge - Halifax - Huddersfield - Honley.

They had a bit of a mish mash timetable which didn't make much sense and seemed to be worked around schools I believe.

Doncaster to York was another service back in the 1950s, basically the 405 and 415 combined together.
