Obviously that list isn't unlimited and is specific to that dealer/manufacturer.
I am not 100& sure, but I am pretty certain there are no specifics about whether a registration is car, bike, truck or bus.
For example, I am aware of a number of cars with the registration Vxxx DNL.
Arriva still have a few MPD's (I think) in this series and passed on some to GNE a few years back, which didn't last long.
Ideally, GNE will want a batch of vehicles to have a sequence, but this won't always be possible.
You just need to look at the fleet list to spot the odd random plate or missing letter.
There is alot of examples on the GNE Fleetlist which I have spotted, Best example being the "Blaydon Racers" Citaros as there are all in one group with only the Last Letter being Different E.g. 5275 to 5283 are all NK07 KP* .
Another Example again is Citaros but this time the Diamond Examples which are Half and Half, E.g. 5284 to 5288 are all NK08 CF* and 5289 to 5297 are all NK08 CG*. I think maybe from I noted in my previous post that the New Citaros will be Reg Plated Half and Half just like the Diamond examples are.
So that'll mean Half will be BX63 BC* and Half BX63 BD* which is basically what I was trying to point out in my original post.
