Huddersfield Corporation was the first local authority to operate their own public transport and to commemorate the Centenary of that occasion a whole series of events was held during 1983. The first took place on the Centenary day itself, 11th January 1983, when two Leyland Atlanteans were unveiled in commemorative liveries. One (6300) was in a tram livery and the other (6299) was in the traditional Huddersfield Joint Omnibus Committee of red and cream. 6299 did a tour of Huddersfield routes on the day that included a run to Oldham, on which it is seen near the Farrar's Arms in Grasscroft, pursued by a GMT Leyland National.
