For some reason I cannot open any of the tables in Ian's Bus Stop, my isp cannot understand why, but all the detail chassis numbers and service dates for each individual bus will be there. This bus has solid tyres, so is unlikely to be as late as 1929. -- Last edit: 2016-10-07 19:02:04

But I can't really be confident about the plate letters, although will hang on to the 98xx as accurate, so late XW works as early 1925.
