M- Plate decoded!

I decoded my M-plate today. It was located under the dash on the driver's side, facing upwards. It's pretty hard to see, some people will lay paper on it and rub a crayon over it to create an image. Alas, I did not have a crayon, but i was able to get it.

I typed it into the M plate decoder at www.alltheprettybuses.com
