I have enclosed copies of the information that is being released to you as Appendix 1. The dates shown are week commencing dates, however the majority (but not all) tests on buses were carried out on Friday of the scheduled week. Figures shown in green are buses where there was a possibility of them being disposed of. If they were retained, their test took place in the week shown.
Please quote the reference number 783665 in any future communications.
