6786 has also been returned.
Is there a reason why these loans are going back considering Bee Network are still short of vehicles? Seems to be daily that Queens Road vehicles are having to be used on Bolton routes

Might have something to do with new e200mmcs arriving freeing up buses are meant to be ran elsewhere.

I think it's because of the deliveries of the 41** SK73** E200MMC's to Wigan so far (52 expected so I hear)

It would have been a machine swap, as bustimes says:

I expect so, as they are for Bee Network routes. It may just take time to paint them all, especially while keeping sufficient numbers of buses in service.
