Hope so. Find it odd that it would be tracking at all as if question why someone put a ticket machine on a trainer.
With tracker saying that a B10 is on the 163 it's probably more along the lines of the ticket machine was originally on the training bus prior to it becoming a trainer and sat in a corner until needed aka machine breakdown thus being thrown onto what bus has had a fault and not been changed over with fleet number

Its been a trainer since long before the ticket machines came into service. When it was a first vehicle at least there was no ticket base or any wiring for the ticketed machines, most likely just a case of the fleet number is programmed into the full list of buses and has been set incorrectly.

Could be what they train new drivers on while there on the training bus. and it's been fitted to the training bus in the past and needed a spare machine for a bus that as a fault
