The Yorkshire Buses Collection - Part 1
The independent transport videos studios are proud to present the first in a series of video programmes filmed by the late renowned transport photographer Malcolm King. Malcolm was a good friend to us at the independent transport videos studios and over the years he filmed buses and trams in the UK and overseas, many of which we have published for you to enjoy. This ‘Collection’ of programmes features buses in Yorkshire filmed during 2021 and 2022.
This first programme covers mostly West Yorkshire with visits to Huddersfield, Halifax, Bradford, Wakefield and Dewsbury. It is presented in the order that he filmed the buses, mostly during 2021, in bus stations, town centres and out in the lovely Yorkshire countryside. The films feature buses from the fleets of Firstbus, Arriva and a number of independents. One of the main events in 2021 that he captured in some detail was the final months and weeks of the services operated by Arriva owned Yorkshire Tiger and its eventual takeover in July 2021 by Transdev with the new fleet name of Team Pennine. This sees the bright orange livery with tiger strips changing to a deep pink livery! One bus he followed in service was former Arriva Yorkshire DAF BD250 Optare Spectra 717 (YG52 CFX), resplendent in Yorkshire Tiger’s orange livery. We see it in Halifax and surrounding areas.
Malcolm also visited the Yorkshire Tiger depots at Ellend, Halifax and Waterloo, Huddersfield to film the buses prior to the takeover and again after Transdev took charge. There is plenty of action for you enjoy and at the time of editing this programme in early 2026, some of the buses have since left the fleets and new liveries have been introduced. So sit back and enjoy this grand tour of Yorkshire buses in this the first programme in the ‘Collection’ series.
