Calderdale JOC 70 (DCP 70) in Halifax – Mar 1974

Calderdale JOC 70 (DCP 70) in Halifax – Mar 1974
March 1974 – Calderdale Joint Omnibus Committee had been created in September 1971 by the merger of the Halifax Joint Omnibus Committee and Todmorden Joint Omnibus Committee. The JOCs were part owned by their respective municipality and part owned by the local railway company. With regard to the Halifax JOC, the Corporation owned buses (‘A’ fleet) carried fleet numbers below 200 and the railway owned buses (‘B’ fleet) above 200.

Weymann bodied Leyland PD2/37 number 70 (DCP 70) was new to Halifax in January 1966. It was seen on the parking ground close to Crossfield bus station in Halifax.

On 1 April 1974 Calderdale JOC became part of the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (WYPTE).

You are spot on Richard. When the various Corporation bus undertakings were absorbed in to the Passenger Transport Executives, thus creating one county wide network, the different areas more often than not just got an extra digit prefixed according to their district/area.

The services in the Halifax area did get a 5 prefix when the West Yorkshire PTE re-numbered services. I think Bradford services were prefixed with a 6.
