Bustimes does agree with you, so I'll change it, though my check was with Google Maps that thinks that the stops are within the area of Holmfirth.

Parkhead Terminus is very much in Upperthong, which is well over a mile away.

Again, another perfect example of why Bus Times should be used solely for bus times (clue is in the name), as opposed to locations, as the actual locale names are supplied via a system called NaPTAN (National Public Transport Nodes) which is a database of bus and tram stops from the www.gov.uk website rather than it coming directly from Bus Times.

In this particular instance, bustimes.org seem to be correct in stating that Parkhead Terminus is in Upperthong and as you say, it is over a mile away from Holmfirth.

I did make a following posting using the same service from that point to Holmfirth bus station and note that seven minutes are allowed to make that yourney.
