(15 Oct 2020, 5:45 pm)AIG20 wrote Hartlepool MAN E200 39657, which was on the disposal list, has re-entered service according to Bus Times (assuming it is not a case of one vehicle tracking as another vehicle).

Given 39657 was withdrawn due to requiring a new engine (which cost more than what the vehicle is worth) before COVID even hit and had been stripped of parts for its sisters, more than likely to be another vehicle has gain the baseplate out of 657 and as yet, it hasn’t received the new fleet number (Much like how one of Stockton’s MMCs was tracking as 22068 for it’s first few days of service last October).
