The meaning of this is e.g.

If Possible PVL109, PVL209, PVL309 - 0 Points
If Possible PVL109, PVL209, PVL309, PVL409= -1 Points
CONSECUTIVE EXAMPLES
PVL109 PVL209
PVL110 PVL210
PVL111 PVL211
PVL209, PVL309 & WVL309, WVL409 Could all Be at The SAME Garage. 1 Point Can Be deducted for this as the Question states PAIR, Triple or MORE Sets of Vehicles.
A List of Consecutive Fleet Numbers for 1 GARAGE can also be provided also. Points will be deducted IF.

Not understanding the 12th question at all. It is quite simple, but I will break it down. The aim of this question is to Identify Fleet numbers which only have 1 different Digit which are allocated to a particular garage. This digit cannot be a tenth or a unit. A Pair, Triple or more set of Fleet Numbers of the same Vehicle type at the Same Garage. E.g. PVL 209, PVL 309, would be a answer IF they were at the SAME garage. |

Made an attempt, but it's nothing spectacular  |

d*mn, I just clocked another easy one for me for Question 12. The BW batch of Tridents from 18201-18235 consecutively. That would be 34 buses.. Wrong because all of the changed digits in those Fleets are tenths and units. Look at my lists above. BW Don't have the following 17201-17235 18301-18335 Etc... BW have no buses that fit the criteria of question 12 For BK You could have had 19756 19856 19757 19857 19758 19858 |
