I was just wondering why 1421 has taken so long as I thought that the days data is downloaded and set against the particular vehicle it came from for revenue purposes.

Revenue isn't assigned by vehicle, it is assigned by route, so the number 0000 is purely administrative.

The number isn't actually stored on the ticket machine however, the number is assigned to the base plate. So swapping machines does not change the number, instead the base plate needs re-assigning.
