Personally think it is quite obvious that any upcoming investment in the fleet will be orientated around getting the B10s Withdrawn by January 1st 2016, so therefore I would not rule out the possibility of the Diamond & Highwayman receiving New Vehicles in the coming months to therefore replace older vehicles in the fleet, as how else are you going to Withdraw them if you dont invest and upgrade other services first.
Though the plan was to get all B10BLEs withdrawn by the end of the year this will not happen because as shown in Dans pic inside 4902, it has been modified to DDA spec
literally confirming that some B10s will stay into next year and also hinting at if GNE invest for anymore new buses this year it will not be enough to replace the B10s.

Guessing that will be 4901 to 4925 which get DDA Modifications, as 4896 to 4900 are all Euro 2 Rated so they will be Withdrawn as I doubt GNE would pay for DDA & Emninox Mods for those Vehicles as it would cost a fortune.
