There not on DF as the drivers already know how to drive Enviro400's. It's a different engine the internal controls will be the same if not very very similar.
Ashton seems to have had an influx of new drivers again and the bus in question is being used to route learn these new drivers before they hit the road - notice how apart from the driver the rest of the guys on the bus are in there own clothes with stagecoach hi-viz's on.

Although it has been in service, AZ have obviously choosen not to use it in regular service if they can help it hence why it's mainly on taxi duties and driver training.
