Yorkshire Tiger

With the purchase of both Stagecoach and K-Line, Centrebus Holdings became the second largest bus operator in Huddersfield after First West Yorkshire.

•

In January 2010 Centrebus Holdings took over some contracted services previously run by First West Yorkshire in the Calderdale area, including Greetland, Halifax, Ripponden, Sowerby Bridge and Stainland.

•

At around the same time Centrebus Holdings purchased Stagecoach Huddersfield it also concluded a deal to buy K-Line.

•

In April 2010, Centrebus Holdings obtained another service under the Huddersfield Bus Company division, taking over routes 435/436 from Arriva Yorkshire.

•

Arriva Yorkshire already operated services in the town, so purchasing Stagecoach's operations would enlarge their presence.
