Wonder whether they sent another bus to cover and connect with passengers part-way. Seen a couple of pics of a similar situation where a Huddersfield depot bus connected with the 184 to Diggle at Wool Road, so Yorkshire-bound passengers could switch to the WY bus and then the 184 to Diggle turned around and then heading back on-route to Dobcross.

I did experience another situation where a bus went out of service. Oldham depot 184 service from Huddersfield had one of its windows smashed by kids in Slaithwaite and Huddersfield depot sent out a bus to meet us, transfer us on the other bus and then ran out of service back to Oldham Mumps before heading off to OM depot and then eventually back to Huddersfield.

I think they sent one of the B7s from Huddersfield

ive been on a B7TL in the past,broke down just before Marsden Moor - Driver Managed to get it going,went at like 20MPH Into marsden then got transferred onto an 185,I Think it happens a lot Huddersfield buses breaking down on the 184 As its the most demanding route they operate - hopefully Huddersfield will get some New Buses after the olympics for 184 as Volvo B7TLs carnt cope with the hills & The B9TLs seen to be used elsewere (there become regulers on Holmfirth Routes)
