do not think so as they are used on local Huddersfield services as well as I saw 88 in Holmfirth last year


talking of branding they need to get them into order ie 180/184 37381 to 88 etc

37288/89 are predominately used for the 184 service but sometimes it can end up on other services. I have heard that it was once used on the Mecca Bingo service one Sunday or Bank Holiday Monday.

The numbering for the branded services are a bit jumbled up now. Only the old 180/184 branded buses seem to have stayed grouped together (37382 in new livery but no branding yet). From recollection, 37441 and 37443 are branded for the 58/59, while 37442 is branded for the 180/184.

Youve got a better chance of seeing the 2 huddersfield Volvo B9TLs on The Uni Runs,Mega Bingo,Staff Bus 200 Or 307 Than on 184!

May seem that way occasionally, but their allocation generally is quite well done. Can't imagine they are that easily distinguished by staff who wouldn't look twice usually, and for them to be on the 184 about 90% of the time, I think they do an alright job

37289 was once working a Halifax depot route by one of their drivers but the bus was not a loan they went to Huddersfield for it
