Wonder when they'll put the route brandings on the buses in Huddersfield.

First WY have now started re-painting buses in Bradford too.

I Wouldnt expect routes to be branded apart from maybe the 370/1/2,Most routes interwork with each other - thats one of the reasons the eclipse lost the branding in the first place

Thought they might do route branding for the 184/185, to fit in with the 180/184 in Greater Manchester. But I imagine, it'll just have the Huddersfield branding on the sides.

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.
