... the last bus back to civilisation (Huddersfield) leaves at half time, though there is a bus to Wakefield just after 11pm, for those not interested in civilisation.
I have never lingered long enough in either Wakefield or Huddersfield to make a judgement of their relative degrees of civilisation.  However, in my university days (Pre-M62) I did quite regularly travel between Leeds and Reddish -  mostly by train but sometimes by car.  The car journeys were not pleasant; the Ford 100E with its side valve engine and three speed gearbox wasn't good at competing with heavy lorries whilst the vacuum operated windscreen wipers that stopped working going up long hills made driving in the rain torturous.   On those car journeys I was, as I recall, directed along the "Huddersfield by-pass" which seemed to me to be a tour of the back streets of Huddersfield.  None of this caused me to associate Huddersfield with civilisation.
