why has that bus got another number plate in window did stagecoach change the number plate to make them newer and is that legal

The vehicles will have been re-registered to 10 plates from the booked 59 registrations. It's a totally legal (for buses) and widespread practice.

Slight correction, the vehicles will never have been registered with the allocated 59 plate, so it is not a re-registration. As the first registration of the vehicles would not have been until today, the 1st March, their allocated 59 plates become invalid and the correct 10-plates issued.

Vehicles can be kept on private property after delivery without being used or registered. The vehicle is new (for licensing wise) the day the vehicle is first registered - a vehicle delivered new today, and not registered until 1 March 2013 would be perfectly entitled to receive a 13 plate, but why have an asset sitting around for 3 years before using.

Also shows that it is possible to have a striking route branding without blocking the windows up with contravision. First in Bristol (whom I used a couple of weeks ago) please take note.

Funnily enough, I was in Bogner the previous weekend and saw a recovery truck towing one of the old fleet
They must have got these ready to hit the road on first day of new 10 reg
The seats are quite high backed, almost like coach seats
