Halifax, Nova Scotia

This was formally London Transport's M1207 passing to Leaside when LT was split.

Another ex Rossendale vehicle, PO59MLL, placed with Team Pennine in Halifax. This was the last bus I photographed in Rossendale Transport ownership on the day of the changeover to Transdev - minutes before the changeover took effect.

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...

Seen at the rear of Halifax Fire Station - taken with permission. To be used for firefighter training - not a happy ending!

Halifax, Nova Scotia

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.

Ex Tayside Citybus/RV G91PES is now owned by IOU Theatre in Halifax, converted principally for use as a mobile seating rake for outdoor performances. Today it is in use as Halifax's first (I think) City Sightseeing-ish tour bus. Uniquely, the passengers will enjoy a view of where they have just been, rather than where they are going!

W404VGJ has been with Yorkshire Tiger for a little while, and has been running round in Arriva aquamarine until its recent repaint into....erm...white...?

Halifax, NS

The Halifax River is an inland waterway along Florida's East Coast, running between Palm Coast and Daytona Beach. These shots were taken from the roadway which runs between Bulow Creek State Park and Tomoka Island State Park.

Halifax

Team Pennine KX14FJZ, ex BUS343 in Malta, latterly with now defunct Powells, passes the site of the almost complete new Halifax Bus Station.

Previously in Bradford, ex Arriva North East. Tiger has lost its Bradford local work in a tendering round, and has reshuffled much of its fleet, sending some older, bigger vehicles in a reverse cascade to the north east. YK08ETJ threads its way through Dean Clough Mills, once the headquarters of the mighty Crossley's Carpets, now home to dozens of businesses (including my employer) in what has been a remarkably successful repurposing exercise.

The Pointer Dart makes a return to Halifax. Transferred from South Yorks and still wearing a South Yorkshire travel advert panel.

Halifax 521/522 services appear to have been rebranded & the vehicles partially repainted as 'Red Arrow'. YJ54XNA is seen on a miserable November morning. Apologies for the poor quality - the light wasn't good!

Resplendent in Tiger orange is cascaded YG52CFX.

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.
