I'm pretty sure that 3317 was new to CV, and moved to WH later in life. Early 70s I think.

Apologies for any errors in this....

I don't recall any of 3230-3250 being at PB. 3230 ran initially at LH and was at Roseberry St (95) before HY (when 3231-3250 were delivered)

3251-3256 moved from PB to LS when 3230-3250 were swapped to YW and PB

3317 started at CV I think (recall seeing it brand new at the Albert St terminus of Coventry Road routes). 3305 started at PB I think.

3878 (I think) - 3880 - WH for 26.
3811 and 3812 were at SO (3811 - 3813?) were allocated for service 20
3781-3785 - LS (43); 3786-3790 - HY (69; 95; 96); 3791-3795 - PB (39; 46??); 3796 - 3805 (or 3804) - HY (69; 95; 96); 3806 - 3810 - (PB - 39; 46??)

3575 and 3581 (at least) started at QN (3581 I saw brand new on the 11); the MS batch started at 3606 (possibly 3604 and 3605 as well).

3391-3398 - PB (33); 3399-3400 - QN; 3384-3390 initially AG but later at PB (possibly when 3391-3397, which arrived much later than the rest of the KOV batch, entered service at PB).

3441-3450 - PB (used with the QN batch on cross city service 33/34 - Kingstanding - (Kings Road) to Quinton

3771 (?) - 3780 - YW (from new)
