I know this probably isnt true but I personally think First sold them to Diamond as part of the deal for Bolton.

I am fully aware of that. However you said "Arriva ones" which is plural (more than one)
Although to be precise there aren't any ex-Arriva StreetDecks in the fleet at all. SL16 YPH was owned by Wrightbus

Either way it’s becoming clear these Streetdecks are troublesome and as one Bolton driver told me, he prefers to take a cold tired B7 over a ‘poverty spec’ Street deck.

Interesting comment made elsewhere suggests the agreement was that the remaining loaned vehicles had to be returned by end of 2020, so effectively they have been forced to buy rather than return.
If it’s true I wonder whether First have let them go cheap or will Diamond have paid over the odds for them.
It potentially gives Go North West a potential buyer for there’s too

Hardly troublesome when all that are needed are out in service. A bloody great investment which nobody else is doing at the moment.
