For the second part of the clip, (about the toy bus), note that the bus's "Registration Number" is "EJ 1934", no doubt the initials of its owner and the year the bus was made.
"Ernest pedals off from Hove Station beside a full-sized bus" - the bus is an AEC Regent, Reg. No. GK 6259.
Note that the "Ross Robot" referred to in the last paragraph is actually the Ross Robo.
