A. Murray McKay Bridge crosses Halifax Harbor. I thought it curious that a bridge authority would make the effort. There may be more to the story than just a Ukrainian flag. Other parts of Canada have a significant Ukrainian population. Also, when immigrants arrived in Canada they first landed in Halifax.

Before turning solely to heritage private hire work, Tony Blackman's Halifax Joint Committee added a splash of colour to bus operation in West Yorkshire. Those colours harked back to the days of the old municipal operation in the town and were refreshing to see re-used on modern buses. They were certainly a change from the 'base white with stickers' cop-out type of livery in vogue.
Parked at the firm's Albert Road garage here is one of a handful of single deckers, a Plaxton Pointer bodied Dennis Dart. K414 MGN according to BLoTW, had been new to R&I Tours of London, who if I recall correctly, were one of very few independents in the traditional sense, operating into the capital in the 1990s. A nice little additional touch was the fitting of bespoke AEC style nut rings to the front wheels. Sadly the firm closed not long after I took this picture and now, even the heritage operation is defunct.

This was new to Kentish Bus as 547 in 1990.
My partner and I took our first trip to Eastern Canada. We landed in Halifax and drove a camper van through three provinces. Our first stop was downtown Halifax.
We had a great time visiting parts of our own country that we have not seen.
Still in Leeds City livery but with a Halifax flash applied on the side - used on schools work, I believe.
Vegetation clearance has opened up the view of the trackbed of the GN branch from North Bridge to Queensbury. The North Bridge end portal of Old Lane Tunnel is visible. For some of its 402 yard length it is 'cut & cover'. The other portal is more difficult to access. Another short branch passed underneath the trackbed here into Crossley's Dean Clough Mills. See:

I'm guessing that opinions will be polarised on this - First has repainted YJ06XLY into a 'fantasy' Halifax livery - is this what Halifax buses would have looked like today if they had escaped WYPTE's verona green & buttermilk? What would Geoffrey Hilditch make of it? Personally, I like it, and think First are to be congratulated on their sense of fun. Unfortunately, this picture depicts a scene of distress. YJ06XLY set off smartly from the bus station up Broad Street, only to come to a halt at the Town Hall traffic lights. It was still there over two hours later...

Yorkshire Tiger fades away before your very eyes - in recent days much of the branding has been removed from vehicles. Presumably this is to facilitate a quick rebrand once Transdev takes over in a little over 36 hours from now.

Ex Arriva NE MPD NK55MYR has transferred to Arriva subsidiary Yorkshire Tiger, and has appeared in full Yorkshire Tiger livery, a welcome change from recent transfers, where buses have been put in to service in 'as received' condition. Looks good! Unlike the snow, a very unwelcome arrival.
