Having been up there this weekend; BTS are still using the four tones on the bus announcements. Trams were just destination and next stop announced at each station.

Possibly a bus transfer operated by Zak's Bus & Coach? Based in Walsall I seem to remember, they were one of the operators Diamond bought out in their late 2000s spending spree.

Services that run outside of Herts still require registering with the Traffic Commissioner (ex-VOSA). 950/951 runs to Staines (Surrey), 549 to Loughton (Essex).

Under the Enhanced Partnership regs, Intalink handle service registrations in Hertfordshire instead of the Traffic Commissioners. A separate register is maintained which, unhelpfully, isn't fed back into the main registration system. https://www.intalink.org.uk/registrations

Possibly reverse gear select interlock, if it's a vehicle with a push-button selector for an automatic transmission?

The megabusplus service (coach connecting into train) never restarted, but EMR continued to supply a number of megatrain only tickets for journeys on the London to Sheffield/Nottingham route until around September last year. East Mids Parkway and Chesterfield dropped off the destinations list...

In the latter years of Central Trains: Central Citylink - Central Sh*ttystink

If the 125 timetable remains as current using one vehicle for the whole day, the bus runs on and off a short journey at Coalville. Again relatively convenient for Midland Classic to access.

You may well be right. The last time I was there was during its rebuilding (2010?) so maybe there was a temporary route in place that I'm thinking of.

Wembley Central would be a good shout. The main entrance and ticket hall only gives access to Platforms 1-3 (Overground and Bakerloo 1/2, 3 is on the fast line so usually gated off). There are separate entrances further along the street for platforms 4/5 and platform 6 for the LNW and Southern...

CB is LNER, or their TIS provider's, prefix

Going by the address, it would appear to have been the base for Countryman Coaches. The company was dissolved and surrendered their operator licence last year, but I know not much else other than that.

441 operates via Stoke-on-Trent instead from 3rd March, with broadly similar times as present - https://bustimes.org/services/441-london-manchester?date=2019-03-04

That looks like the cutting through the town centre, so the photo was likely taken from Adelphi Street bridge. Docks traffic finished in 1993, but wouldn't be surprised if a tour got it in shortly afterwards! It's been overgrown for as long as I can remember (lived around there 91-08, and still...
