they use to do Sundays and Bank holidays to Huddersfield as 180 and 429 the one that went just to Holmfirth was the 430 from Bury classed as pennine edge service

RE: First Manchester
Details of the bus consultation is now mentioned on the First website with the 81A, 180/184, 350 and 353/354 being the services in question.

Got the dates for the Uppermill and Delph meetings wrong in the original post. The Uppermill meeting will be this Saturday (not Thursday as previously stated) between 1030 and 1530 outside the Commercial Hotel and in Delph next Tuesday (15 October) between 1600 and 2000 at the Methodist Church.

There's also an online survey for those who can't make it or wish to get their message across, be it opinions, criticisms of services or any suggestions.

RE: First Manchester
Not sure if this has anything to do with the proposed First/Finglands takeover or not (from TfGM Service Changes page):

First Manchester were having problems with their X34s yesterday morning due to an accident on M60 at Worsley, I got to Piccadilly Gardens at 09:45 to find a driver and QS's Taxibus waiting for 09:45 X34 Manchester-Leigh service, by 10:20 the same driver was still waiting for it to turn up, not to sure what time it eventually turned up (if it indeed did) as I caught a late running 32 at 10:20
