What's happening to First Manchester's buses coming off hire.

Anyone know where the remaining loaned First B7RLE’s are headed as apparently some have been spotted on the road heading down south somewhere?

66901,66903,66909 and 66983 are the ones that have left today, thought to be heading to First Bristol as trainers

All four have transferred to BoS for Covid extras, 01/09 at Taunton and 03/83 at Bridgwater.

I've read on another forum (not to sure if its true) that South Yorkshire are getting some of Oldhams B9s in return for more E400s so it looks like the E400s that went to South Yorkshire could in theory be coming back.
