Doesn't narrow it down I'm afraid - the second-hand batch (4989 - 4992) are all of a similar condition inside - the backs of the seats are grey rather than blue, and the paint has come off the grab rails.
The newer examples (and original batch) of 5211 - 5217 are in a much better condition and by and large these are the best performers out of the Prince Bishops fleet. Some of the Highwayman examples are much more 'tired' than these.
