Rhondda 291 passed via North's to Bartle Transport of Dewsbury who provided a fleet of buses on behalf of Rex Bingo at Outwood. It returned to North's in January 1968 following accident damage and went for scrap the following May.

JK 9988 had been 31 in the Eastbourne Corporation fleet. New in 1948 it was originally H28/24R but seating capacity was increased in 1960. It was withdrawn, like Rhondda 291 in 1966 and was also on bingo duty. The bus to the rear is former Rochdale 213 (GDK 713), yet another Regent III this time a 9612E with Weymann H31/28R bodywork.

Whilst parked up all day these buses would be passed by a frequent Guy Wulfrunians as West Riding's "track" (so named as it was once a tram route), the 10 from Leeds to Kettlethorpe ran past the site. This was a 'red' bus route but the red livery was starting to disapear at the time of this photograph.
