From the Mike Ashworth Collection.
"One of the more interesting marketing initiatives of the old West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive - marketing services as "Metro" - was the introduction in 1983 of regular canal 'bus' services run by barge. Initially run on a section of the Leeds - Liverpool Canal between Shipley and Bingley, two other routes on the Rochdale Canal between Todmorden and Hebden Bridge and between Mirfield and Brighouse on the Calder & Hebble Navigation were added the following year.
I'm not sure when they ceased operation but I do recall this - the fixed 'bus stop' posts and flags placed on the towpath as 'stopping points' and seen here in the "Ten Years of Achievement" booklet the PTE issued in 1985"
