SOES certainly looks more up-to-date than the other in this context, but couldn't find any reference to the buses brought in from First ops at opposite ends of the country (as mentioned in Buses mag FleetNews). I also didn't realise that the Tod-Halifax section alone ran every 10 minutes, so even self contained would need 11 buses - no wonder, sightings of CalderConnect examples in Rochdale are relatively uncommon.

Calder Connect Buses are 69477, 69480-5 so far. Another three are in the pipeline. PVR is 17 of which about 6 are usually DDs. Seven boards work into Rochdale on 590 and 3 on the 589 so plenty of scope for a green one to be there.

Of the cascaded buses:
From Midlands B7TL 32077/82/92 are at Bradford with 32078-80 awaited
From Scotland East B7TL 30939/42 are at Bradford with 31790/1 awaited Scania L94 61214-6/9/22/6/7, 62355 are at Bramley
From South Yorks 30561, 30905-7 at Halifax, 30562 at Huddersfield, 30563 30883/5, 30904 at Bradford, 37021-27 at Hunslet, 37028-30/2/3 at Huddersfield, 37034/5 at Halifax 37258 at Huddersfield and 31137/8 are due for Bradford and 31139/40 at Halifax
From West of England B7Ls 60912/3 66346/7 are due for Hunslet, B7TLs 32072/85 are at Huddersfield with 32071/86/8/9 due there and 32091 for Bradford. 32684/5 are due for Hunslet and B7Ls 60895/910/7/8, 61594, 66339 at Bradford
I think that's it - though there are six as yet unconfirmed Volvo singles due into Leeds.
