(31 May 2014, 3:33 pm)Dan wrote Has been one or two new arrivals today. Most of the gas buses now carry fleet numbers and registrations - including today's arrivals.

Had a chat with one of the engineers who filled in any gaps for the fleet number to reg allocation also.

I'm now home, so to provide a greater insight to this post, the fleet number to registration allocation for the examples to have arrived so far are as follows:

• 28018 - YR14 CFP
  
• 28019 - YR14 CFU
  
• 28020 - YR14 CFV
  
• 28021 - YR14 CFX
  
• 28022 - YR14 CFY
  
• 28023 - YR14 CFZ
  
• 28024 - YR14 CGE
  

I think 28024 only arrived today; as such, it has not yet been taxed. I expect that it will be fully registered and appear on the DVLA's Vehicle Enquiry website by or during the course of Monday.

Please note:
While a number of these vehicles have been given both fleet numbers and registration plates and are currently visible within Sunderland's Wheatsheaf depot, some of these examples did not. An engineer at Sunderland - who is a family friend - has told me that they are the allocations.
