Saw some very similar to these at Long Sutton, Lincs recently.
There were some red Presidents in the same yard. 
Not sure what the deal is, as the ones you mention are supposed to be a few miles further east, in Norfolk.

I'm surprised they aren't keeping them in service for all the extra services... unless those are starting to be dropped quietly?

Well the influx of over 50 vehicles and other operators now covering some of their own dupes, it's no surprise that they are getting to the point where they can start withdrawing some vehicles. I'd imagine a lot more will be withdrawn next year as things start to get back to normal
