Not, dashing through the snow

Here we see Huddersfield Bus Company's (now Yorkshire Tiger) depot pet, Leyland Olympian K242 CHB depot bound on March 23rd 2013. This was the day Huddersfield ground to a complete halt; quite typically, the day I needed to get home to Cornwall, forcing me to walk the 5.5 miles to the railway station to start my journey! K242 was originally registered K3 YCL when bought new for the Yorkshire Coastliner services. Today in 2014 she still plys her trade daily, and can be found on all manner of services in and around the Huddersfield area. She was unfortunately the only member of the batch to survive the Leyland Olympian cull by Centrebus, somehow managing to escape the scrapman against all odds, and is now technically under Arriva ownership. Arriva's final Leyland?
