Yorkshire Traction 396, FCX288C, was a standard BET design Leyland Leopard PSU3/1R with Weymann B53F body.
However it was special being second of a pair new in September 1965 to former shared-ownership subsidary County Motors, Lepton as 110 and acquired with the company in October 1968.

Ad hoc destination boards are evident below the driver, so perhaps the blinds are malfunctioning or perhaps they didn't match its working - without brass band - to Brighouse and Rastrick. The main County route into Dewsbury had been from Huddersfield. The location in Mirfield may be the Post Office, as I alighted from Tracky route 62 there and walked to the station.
