I took the X93 peak timetable as my example and if, I'm open to being corrected. my figures work out, it's in the region of 70,000 a month, give or take. From looking at our BTL9's and their live so far, am I right in assuming these vehicles have done in excess of 4 million miles ?? Maybe I'm wrong? It's a Sunday challenge for anyone interested.

70k per month would imply around 2300 per day, indicating that from midnight to midnight the bus is driven constantly at near enough 100mph - both illegal and likely impossible. (Unless you're meaning the batch, however even in this case for most of the year only 5 are required per day - so it's likely nearer 50k per month as a maximum)

A round trip from Middlesbrough to Scarborough is around 100 miles. Having a quick look at bus times, I'm assuming that (roughly) each bus does 2 Middlesbrough round trips and 2 Scarborough-Whitby per day - giving total mileage per day around 300. Again assuming around 2 weeks off per year, you're looking at 100k per year.
