Pinewood studies bought three Citybus RELLs XOI 2505/6/22. The following site has a few pics of 2506. http://bcv.robsly.com/xoi2506.html

(Quietus is the name of a euthenasia drug in the film.) The site also says that this bus has an armoured windscreen. Perhaps that's why the producers chose the Belfast buses - I have a feeling that there's a scene with people throwing stones at the bus.
