I've often wondered how they chose the service numbers beyond those that were direct changes from 102 ->2 etc.  So for example, why make a 32 but no 30, or 31 at the time.  And why the 9 was never used until the South Hylton service in Stagecoach days etc.

Busways initially operated a 17 that became 17A/17B then back to 17.  The good old days with a proper network of services instead of a few high frequency routes and little else.
