Speaking of the 3900s, anyone know why 716 is an 09-plate, yet 715 and 717 are 58-plates?
The batch were delivered Feb to April 2009 so ended up with split registrations depending whether they entered service pre or post March 2009. They were mostly in line with fleet number order but with a couple of exceptions, 39702 being another to get 09 plates, for example.

Looked like a few of the gas buses had already gone this morning
Interesting that its the newest of the gas buses that have been withdrawn. If it was down to hitting the 10 year warranty/refurb deadline for the gas tanks, you'd think they'd be taking the oldest off the road first.
Would also have made more sense to keep them in service for an extra week to enable the loan of a few deckers to Hartlepool to cover tall ships loadings on their services down there.
