I believe that is explained by First Group adopting a national numbering
scheme which caused First London to change the lettered codes and then
use the national 5 digit numbering scheme.

The gaps in the registration numbers I was referring to are for
example:
MA53 BX04 MYZ
MA54 BX04 MZD

MA62 BX04 NCF
MA63 BX04 NCJ


registration plates no longer follow a consecutive series so it is
perfectly feasible for there to be gaps. The reg series for the Arriva
artics does look a bit all over the place from checking in the LOTS
Fleetbook.

http://www.lots.org.uk/ and click on publications..

If you search on http://www.buslistsontheweb.co.uk/ and look at Chassis
list and click on Mercedes and 530G you'll get all the bendy buses
including reg numbers.





Thanks Steve and Paul, some intersting links there.
