Wed, 21 Dec 2011, Basil Jet remarked:
Most of the big bus operators had similar systems. Bournemouth, for
instance, had a service lane in the garage into at least the '80s, and
the last digit of the fleet number matched the service rota day, so
every bus got a safety check every ten days,


... except in February.


And all those double checks on 31st's followed by a 1st. Perhaps they
had a cunning scheme for these eventualities?


The service rota was not synchronised to the calendar, it was a plain
ten day rotation.
