Having previously carried cherished registration mark K2 VOY, this vehicle has been re-registered as LA55 WWN. The cherished registration mark, K2 VOY, has been sold to a private buyer, in exchange for another cherished registration mark (X21 BUS). This registration mark will be allocated to Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekka 6146 (YN55 NFE), which will act as the dedicated spare vehicle for "The Castles Express" service X21.
It looks like 6146 will go to Crook as a spare for the X21 and have the registration plate of "X21 BUS"

That's correct!
6146 is of course a little bit younger, and will be re-trimmed prior to entering service, providing a more high quality spare vehicle for the X21 service. Tarted up internally and externally, with its real age disguised by a private registration mark.
