If i go to DVLA there work is mostly schools so it seems odd unless there using those on school contractsMy guess would be the result of CAZ planned to be implemented in parts of Greater Manchester from next year (potentially May?), including parts of Bolton where they're based.
They're quite a big player on the Rail Replacement scene around Greater Manchester too sometimes stretch into Yorkshire as well, even went as far north as York on at least one line closure earlier this year. Said E200MMCs have been sighted on these already and likely will be commonplace on various RR jobs.
