Can anyone help?

The website countrybus.org linking to Ian's Bus Stop, the definitive history of London Transport buses appears to have "gone down" and is now shown as a website "under construction".
Can anyone shed any light on whether this is a temporary situation or whether we have permanently lost this...
This afternoon I saw a Caledonian Sleeper liveried Mk3 sleeper coach heading south on the A64 York by-pass.
Unfortunately, I didn't catch its number - I was wondering if it was 10689 from the NYMR heading somewhere.
Any clues as to ID?
Is it possible to confirm how many of the "Kirkdale" units are yet to enter passenger service?
I believe it is 021, 027, 032 and 034 - is that right?
TIA
Sorry to pop back up again, but I have two more renumbering dates that I am not sure about.
When WD73799 was renumbered 90774 (I understand it was by October 1949, but I don't have the exact month)
When Powlesland & Mason 0-4-0ST was renumbered from 696 to 1150
Thanks in anticipation.
Many thanks for the 2-10-0 information.
The 2-8-0's I have more detailed dates for (sourced from Railway Observers and SLS magazines)
WD77171 to 90143 - March 1949
WD77226 to 90194 - September 1951
LNER (6)3173 to 90494 - September 1950
WD77481 to 90619 - May 1950
These may be of interest to...

WD73779/90755 - I know it entered BR service at Grangemouth depot in Feb 1949
WD73784/90760 - I know it entered BR service at Motherwell depot in Mar...
If anyone is interested, I overtook 153371 heading north on the M42 near Tamworth (on a low loader!) at around 12:10 last Monday.
It was in unbranded LMR livery
