I have no problems with reactivating number plates (I think it is a good thing), I just thought that there was an established procedure (managed through AHB and ACAS?) that meant that reallocation of numbers was done on "seniority". It was my understanding that this was operational seniority and I was just a bit surprised that 76 (despite its links with LoO and Yorks) had been chosen over others with longer operational service.
