Bus400 reports on twitter the possibility the 351 has re-entered service:

QuoteI possibly spotted Bus 351 back in service 10 minutes ago. But I did cross it on the Parkway, so now [sic] clear fleet number.

I think that should be "no clear fleet number".

Metrobus has reported it via Twitter earlier today & I just spotted Bus 351 back in service. It has lost the white & orange on the front.

Rode it on a 937 today. Certainly looks different with the all-green front. Has an old desto file too - it was doing the former City Interchange / Ainslie Hackett / Dickson Lyneham thing.

Heard some drivers referring to it as the 'ghost bus' recently...

Is this because drivers have experienced supernatural activity on the bus, or is it just a name?

...just a name I think...but not unusual for drivers to report 'seeing' passengers in their internal mirrors who turn out to be mirages, or figures waiting at bus stops who disappear as the bus approaches...
