RE: X9 | X10 - Acquisition of interdeck coaches from Oxford Bus Company
To be fair, the rear registration of the coach is about eye level for any car driver following behind. So if a car is stuck in traffic behind the coach, they prob notice the registration and have a little thought, thats a clever plate, then draw their attention to read the rest of the rear of the bus / coach. If you look at the Oxford Bus Company, they've used personalised plates for years. And GNE have used them for years too, mainly they were used on NatEx coaches and B10BLE 4840. These days they aren't used on the NatEx coaches and used instead on the local fleet. Other operators do it too, namely Stagecoach have a number of private plates in use on various coaches and management vehicles. Sometimes these Private plates can be sold on for a good sum. The plate from MetroRider 403 (M3GYP) was sold to a local enthusiast.
