Today we decided to re-visit Huddersfield. Matthew had wanted to go to Scarborough, but it was decided it was a little too far for us to drive, so we asked him if he wanted to go to Huddersfield. We have never started off at Huddersfield before, and we knew there was a car park above the bus station similar to Preston, so we decided to go there. Research consisted of checking the weather which was mainly sunny with some cloud, and checked the price of the West Yorkshire multi-operator ticket.
