In the Eureka Childrens Museum in Halifax for afew years now has been this industrial shunter & Mark 2 TSO. For as long as they have been there, they have been a plain maroon livery. But recently they have smartened up and repainted in Northern Rail livery & the shunter carries the fictional tops number 02641.
Spectra power in Halifax - ex Arriva Yorkshire DB250 YG52CFX cascaded to Yorkshire Tiger in full Arriva livery with a Tiger route board in the dash. Apparently needed for schools work following Bassi Travel's spot of bother...
The clearout at First Halifax continues with the removal by PVS of another couple of Darts from Elmwood Garage. The garage staff have gone to extraordinary lengths to obliterate the vehicles identities! The Dart on the right was shortly afterwards moved into position behind the tow truck by a member of the garage staff under its own power - probably the last independent move it will ever make.
DX12OWC, new to Minsterley Motors, then Rossendale Transport, now with Team Pennine. Seen here arriving back in Halifax from Keighley, passing along Waterhouse Street with Crossley Street and Halifax Town Hall to the right.
Undated early 1970s (?)
This great view of the area around Halifax station is undated. A lot of track relaying is taking place and the platforms have track removed. A Class 03 shunter is the only locomotive visible. Halifax Parish Church is just off centre and Square Chapel Spire is clearly visible. The gas works have not yet gone. Probably mid to late 60s / early 1970s. Today the National Children's Museum Eureka! takes up the yard area.

YJ10EXG has received base Yorkshire Tiger colour. Yorkshire Tiger is 100% Arriva owned since its purchase of the Centrebus Holdings 'Centrebus' shares in September 2013. Previously Arriva owned a minority 40% share in Centrebus Holdings, which traded in Yorkshire as Huddersfield Bus Co & White Rose Bus Co. Honley based K Line is also a Centrebus Holdings company which is now fully Arriva owned.
Yorkshire Tiger has won a number of schools contracts in Calderdale from September 2015, and six Arriva Yorks B7TL/Presidents have been cascaded to help with the task, the first 'big' buses to be based in Yorkshire Tiger's Calderdale fleet (in succession to Huddersfield Bus Co) since the end of Halifax Joint Committee days in 2010. X675YUG is also in service. The other four are being prepared.
YK07AYY approaches the top of Ovenden Way. Beyond is Beacon Hill, which towers over Halifax town centre, and also visible is the tower of the closed All Souls church.

Not long since it was given Max colours, YJ09CTY has now received the refreshed corporate Arriva livery being rolled out across the country. A new Arriva logo has been devised and will follow later in the programme.
This isn’t your typical perspective of the Old Town Clock on Citadel Hill in Halifax. The damp, overcast night created the perfect conditions for the clock's lights to radiate a soft, enchanting glow, giving the scene a timeless charm.
New to WMPTE. In non-psv use now for some time and seen here at Halifax Charity Gala promoting further education courses. Currently owned by Roadshow Promotions Ltd, and has appeared in a few different guises whilst with them.
Cascaded from Arriva Yorks, and latterly based at Huddersfield, Tempo YJ09EYG is here taking a local service in Halifax. Yorkshire Tiger is to be sold to Transdev later in 2021, complete with premises at Huddersfield and Elland, the staff, and 61 vehicles. YJ09EYG is in typical current fleet condition, looking unloved with a replaced panel missing the branding.

Latterly with now defunct Yorkshire Green Line/Bassi Travel who gave it the new registration, here is ex Arriva DB250/ALX400 W431WGJ undergoing conversion, possibly to non-PCV work, at a yard in Halifax.
On our second day in Halifax for the Unison Choruses Festival, I started the day with a short walkabout in the downtown and waterfront prior to the start of the event as I had some time to kill before festival delegate registration began. There weren't any actual festival concerts until the evening, but I needed to connect with the organizers ahead of the busy days to come.
