A NEW bishop arrived in Huddersfield in his full robes - and on a bus.

The new Bishop of Wakefield, the Rt Rev Stephen Platten, was on a meet-and-greet tour of major towns in his diocese.

Transport firm Arriva loaned him the single-decker bus for his trip around the area.

Bishop Platten led a service at Huddersfield Parish Church before going on to a reception at the university.

His enthronement as bishop is at Wakefield Cathedral tomorrow.
