Much like Leeds Wright Eclipse Gemini 37724 as I posted in post #1496, Halifax Enviro 400 33741 has also been repainted into the cooperative livery. The photo below shows what the Enviro 400 looks like in this livery. The photo is not mine.

It's nice to see that some things just don't change... First we're similarly lacklustre when they ordered older buses to be painted into the Barbie 2 livery despite the fact they hadn't even bothered ordering the large fade out vinyls, resulting in some buses picking up bits of damage before the livery was even finished..! The mind boggles!

 

[noddingdonkey]

Are the sub brands like HD Connect (that never seem to get used or promoted) disappearing?

 

[dodecahedron67]

Yes

First Halifax HX Connect livery 37700 was destroyed by fire last night at Burnley Bus Station.

First Halifax HX Connect livery 37700 was destroyed by fire last night at Burnley Bus Station.

A 14 year old boy has been arrested on suspicion of arson endangering life.

You can see in this image from the Lancashire Telegraph it's done some damage to the bus station as well.

Apparently from what I can gather and looking at BusTimes it broke down in the Bus Station earlier in the day, as to why it wasn't towed back to Halifax Depot sooner I'm not to sure.

they may use an outside contracter for towing buses back to depot

Don’t think any of the Yorkshire depots have their own wreckers now

37693, YJ09 OAH, becomes the first Halifax B9 to be repainted into corpo purple (Photo shared with permission)

There is now a new Wrightbus StreetDeck Electroliner reported on buslistsontheweb.co.uk that currently says it is for First West Yorkshire, which is plated MA24EPU and has a fleet number of 36632. Any idea as to where this one is going to specifically?

Is anything due to replace 37700 after the incident at Burnley Bus Station recently?

Looks like I missed my last chance to use the West Yorkshire £6 Weekend Group ticket to visit our local brewery's monthly open day last Saturday . It was a remarkably good value ticket, even with just two of us travelling.
