Why is it that 03/53-registered examples are numbered 220xx as an example, whereas T-reg and other pre-2000 examples are 222xx and 226xx. Also; some of the 223xx and 224xx batch are as new as 2005 and 2006. Anybody able to explain it to me? Nothing appears to be in order, in terms of age and the registrations of the vehicles.

All the UK Bus operations have the same standard fleet number so there's probably most of 220xx-226xx across the UK. I think Stagecoach put these vehicles into random numbers before having the "by delivery date" policy of fleet numbers. Kuyoyo or someone like that will be able to explain further I think.
