1400, Seen it recently and its got/ had a darker green/blue bumper on the front. Spares these days are now supplied 'ready painted' for fitting to vehicles. These are now supplied ready painted for the latest corporate colours (ie Arriva interurban) but unfortunately many vehicles (at AY) have yet to be repainted hence the unusual colour scheme!

1400 and 1403 haven't been seen for a good while now, possibly getting painted into interurban livery?

Posting a comment on another topic earlier got me thinking about some other 'missing buses'. Or, to put it another way, 'buses that never were'. And wondered why, in the AY fleet, there was never a Dart MPD 222. ALX300 444, ALX400 660 666 and 670. And finally, Plaxton Presidents 680 and 690?

They can't get matching registrations for numbers like that, so instead of putting non matching reg's in those slots, they just moved onto the next fleet number instead. |

Must have been a more recent policy. I think the Lynx's were numbered through? Despite being in the 3xx series batch where a fair few numbers were unavailable, some due to them being reserved by BMW for 3 series models. The ECW Olympians had a small batch missing in the 55x series, which seemed a bit odd. Perhaps because the reg would be A55? |

There isn't a 655 either or a 105 in the Volvo Renowns |

Yeah, forgot about those two. So that knocks my theory on the head that it was something to do with 'triple numbers' (222, 444, 666) and fleet numbers ending with zero (660, 670, 680, 690).

By the time this block were delivered they'd moved on to A-reg. It was thought (by DVLA ?) that A55x xxx might have been mis-read as ASSx xxx. Hence the jump to A560.
