couldn't see why it would matter to a bus or coach operator to conceal
the age, since it would be concealed only from a casual observer, not

It's more what's odd about caring about the age of the bus if you are
a punter and it turns up. You might notice that it's tatty or filthy,
but you won't get that from the number plate.
