The 3 branded ones (15820-15822) were re-registered to 62 plates with them not being taxed until first service on 3rd Sept, like Manchester often do when they get new vehicles. Helps to create the illusion they're brand new as well, with the press release stating that mostly brand new buses would be used.

The first one should hopefully be out of the paintshops this week, 22139 I think. With any luck it'll be out next week, unless they want to do some work to them to make them decent. They do have a few problems, but that is generally expected when crap from Manchester gets chucked this way.

Some of them sound and run a lot better than many younger ones they've left behind.
