Also worth mentioning former GNE Scania's 5213 NK53NVH & 5214 NK53NVJ have arrived here too, painted all white. Both re-registered onto private plates presumably, one is A6HCO, any ideas of the other (and which is which!?)

They're not actually our fleet numbers. It's came up with a few operators around the country recently who didn't have fleet numbers allocated and have Ticketer machines. BusTimes now seems to be dragging through the Ticketer unique vehicle ID as a fleet number if there isn't one set (they're separate fields in the Ticketer back office system), leading to this seemingly odd numbering system where they've been given an ID number in order as they're added onto the back office system.
A couple of other recent additions to the fleet are Ford Transit AF17 XFT (ex Pattisons, Darlington) and Trident/President LR52 KVS.
Previously unreported were the additions of Ford Transits NV59 BYM, AK62 YGL and NV65 VHE (now registered K2 HCO) back in September, all ex Pattisons.
New in is ex Abellio London Enviro200 YX61 BXG.
