Depends on whether there's actually any second-hand buses to bring in to do the replacement.
There's been very few deliveries to Stagecoach over the last year, so new buses are very much at a premium. This in turn means that operators are having to keep hold of their slightly older vehicles and continue using them, which in turn means no vehicles available for cascade to other operators.
How soon this situation changes will depend upon how soon any operator has enough money to buy the new buses!
