Well, cutting a long story short, this is my first blog post since moving from Chester to Huddersfield in West Yorkshire. On Friday 18th October, I decided to embark on a tour around the local area and get to know what the local bus scene was about.
First of all, I decided to visit the town of Halifax.
By this point, I decided to visit the town of Huddersfield and considering how frequent buses to Huddersfield are from Halifax, I decided to wait around for the 503 as this uses Volvo B7TL's on a Wright Eclipse Gemini Chassis,
Once I arrived in Huddersfield, more bus spotting commenced.
