* Small operators are defined as 50 vehicles or less, not part of one of the large operating groups. Local operators are small operators in the neighbouring counties of Beds, Cambs, Essex, Herts, Huntingdon, Lincs, Norfolk, Northants & Suffolk.
# London buses are those operating on LT services or city tours.

The top scoring preserved buses will be entered into the separate DOYEN class. These vehicles will also be weighted for vehicle age and resources devoted to their preservation. On this basis, the top 25 preserved vehicles will be selected for the Doyen class, they will be eligible for the Preservation Awards, but not the vehicle awards. All 25 Doyen entrants will receive special rally plaques.
