Dan's Tweet seems to imply they're theirs.

(25 Mar 2021, 8:02 pm)Dan wrote Unlike the two which were pictured at Riverside last week, these six are on long-term loan from Ensign Bus Company (to whom Lothian Buses had sold them). They will aid extra vehicle requirements, following the disposal of buses to other parts of the Group, and extra vehicle requirements (i.e. shuttle buses to Nightingale Hospital, the conversion of bus 692 to become a COVID-19 mobile vaccination bus, etc).

These are:
- 9056 (SN57 DFJ)
- 9057 (SN57 DFP)
- 9058 (SN57 DFU)
- 9059 (SN57 DFV)
- 9060 (SN57 DFX)
- 9061 (SN57 DFY)

All six are now at Saltmeadows Road, being prepared for service, ready for the increase in service levels from Saturday 10 April.

(01 Apr 2021, 10:35 pm)Big O wrote Seems GNE have purchased the former B9TLs from Lothian; SN57 DFJ, DFA, DFU, DFV, DFX, DFY

Go North East has also taken into its fleet a number of vehicles on temporary loan, which, further to the vehicles above, will allow them to continue running 70+ extra vehicles on scholars/duplicate services to aid social distancing as a result of COVID-19, when service levels on the core commercial network resume, from 10 April. These are Scania CN94UB/Scania OmniCity 6513 (YP52 CTO) and Scania N94UB/East Lancs Esteem 6615 (YN06 JXZ) from the Metrobus fleet, allocated temporary fleet numbers 9054 and 9055 respectively, as well as former Lothian Buses Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied Volvo B9TLs SN57 DFJ/DFP/DFU/DFV/DFX/DFY from Ensign Bus Company, which have been numbered 9056 to 9061.

9056 and 9057 were two of the ex-Lothian B9's previously on loan.
