They are MAN 14:240 chassis with the ADL Enviro 200 body, similar to what Stagecoach have in Hartlepool and Newcastle. The only Go-Ahead company that would prob operate these would by Plymouth, but even that is unlikely. More likely that these along with a lot of Metrobus vehicles were leased and will prob be returned to the leaser, wouldn't be suprised if these turned up in New Zealand to be honest, they seem to like that chassis type over there.
To be fair, there's been many a second hand aquisition that has been the first of a type.
You mentioned just now about the Dublin fleet being owned by the Irish Government, but it doesn't seem too long ago that examples were purchased by GNE.
Of course, there are more examples to refer to and there's nothing to say that if these 3 were to arrive, that they would be the last.
