Hi Tony

My guesses below...

1) Mexborough & Swinton livery

2) 73 native Olympians of which I think at least 3 had donor roofs fitted

3) First Leeds ran one of the 3 duties, YTC the other 2

4) Tates ran it in their usual manner, think it was the X30

5) Probably Crimewatch in Rotherham

6) True

7) 906 (Volvo B7TL)

8) 76 + 77

9) BMCs 101-106

10) Trent
