The licensing updates are usually put in by me (Ray) and are normally updated each month (at least for 'operators' vehicles). There is a routine operated by Tube Lines (as nominee operator for LBSL/LUL etc) and the major bus companies. Therefore when I find that a vehicle has not been relicensed when expected I add the NTBO (Not Taxed By Operator) so I can check progress. If it has not been re-licensed by the first week of the month then it gives a clue it may have been sold. The NTBO marking is usually deleted from the 'notes' section at that point. For non-live vehicles updating occurs as, and when, I get a chance and 'NTBO' will not apply. Thus NTBO is just an aide memoire.
