Hi all,

Bit of a long-shot here, and I'm hoping this is the right forum to ask, but I'm trying to build up a database of old issues of Coach & Bus Week (CBW) magazines, and amid trawling through three years worth of eBay archives, I've stumbled upon this image from a listing two years ago. I may or may not have had a couple of the magazines pictured, however in my infinite wisdom, I either didn't record the cover at all or only partially photographed it.

I don't think I can get in contact with the seller about the expired listing, as the eBay research tool I got this image from doesn't state who made the listing. In that case, I'll turn to the forums in the hopes that someone may recognise them. I own only four of the 15 magazines listed here after my big clear-out some years back, so, numbered from 1 through to 15, which magazine cover corresponds with what issue and date?

Listing the ones I know from this numerical order; ones in bold with hyperlinks are in my possession:
  1. UNKNOWN
  2. Issue 31 (Sept. 19 1992) - WE KNEEL TO CONQUER; [subtitle not recorded - Merseytravel low floors trials]
  3. Issue 42 (Dec. 5 1992) - A TICKET TO RIDE; [subtitle not recorded - Merseybus buyout approved by workforce]
  4. Issue 43 (Dec. 12 1992) - FOR SALE: LONDON BUSES LTD; Bus industry in shock as [incomplete]
  5. UNKNOWN
  6. UNKNOWN [Circa Apr. 1994?]
  7. UNKNOWN
  8. Issue 40 (Nov. 21 1992) - READY FOR 1993? Operators warned of package deal pitfalls
  9. Issue 128 (Aug. 6 1994) - MAINLINE BREAKS INTO IPSWICH; First regional unit set up as Stagecoach deal accepted
  10. Issue 34 (Oct. 10 1992) - THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS; Tram priorities blamed for city centre congestion in Manchester
  11. UNKNOWN
  12. UNKNOWN [Circa Nov. 1993?]
  13. Issue 30 (Sept. 12 1992) POISED FOR THE BREAKTHROUGH; Optare's Spectra challenges convention and gains top marks on test
  14. Issue 38 (Nov. 7 1992) WMT ORDERED TO RE-TEST ENTIRE FLEET
  15. UNKNOWN [Possibly Issue 104, Feb. 19 1994?]
Thanks in advance if you're able to rustle up your old issues of CBW and figure this out.
