A visit to Bradford and Leeds

Hello fellow bus spotters and photographers alike.

This is my first blog post for quite a while but I decided today to take a trip to Bradford and Leeds as I've never been bus spotting there before and thought this would be an interesting venture.

My day started by catching the 10:20 X6 to Leeds from Brighouse (where I live), this arrived in Leeds at approximately 11:20 and thought it would be best to take photographs at the coach and bus station in the city centre.
