Are you sure they are operated by NX Stansted?

The only Cobus that NX operated airside that I'm aware of were at Gatwick with the Airlinks Operations, which has subsequently been sold on to OFJ Connections.

They're missing off the fleetlist on the main site then.

Yes they are. Due to them operating only airside at the airport they have not been registered as they do not venture onto public roads.
