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.
On my morning photowalk, I explored some of the downtown, but also their wonderful wonderful waterfront. It's quite extensive, and I wasn't able to explore the entirety of it. Oddly, even though there are many world-class attractions there, I was QUITE taken by the little village of sea cans that were converted to shops.
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.
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.
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!
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.

The Pointer Dart makes a return to Halifax. Transferred from South Yorks and still wearing a South Yorkshire travel advert panel.
YN58FYF stands in Horton Street, Halifax, after completing a faultless and comfortable 10 hour journey from Weymouth. It has been deputising for a failed Tourismo, and has been from Blackburn to Eastbourne, Torquay, and Weymouth over the last few days. It is a Great Harwood based reserve vehicle in the Daish/Robinson fleet. Daish's bought Robinsons of Great Harwood, Lancs, a year or two since. YN58FYF is standing at the Daish pick up point outside the offices of O&C Holdsworth Ltd, the previous owners of Robinsons. O&C Holdsworth were the founders of the original Hebble Motor Services in 1923 in Halifax. YN58FYF was due to return to Great Harwood the following day for a nice lie down after its hectic few days.
Dealer stock/loan vehicle, latterly with First in South Yorkshire. Has also been in Malta as BUS362 - note the aircon pack on the roof.
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.
