I honestly can't see that being the case. The price of non-diesel vehicles (be it BEV or HEV) puts them way out of reach for most routes. 
Don't forget, the relatively small Yutong E10 costs around £400k each, but a larger Enviro 200 or Streetlite is only around £160k. Even a fully loaded StreetDeck/Enviro 400 is only £250k.

Plus there's the matter of range.

Take the X21 for example, some vehicles on that route do 280+ miles a day, which wouldn't be possible with current Electric or Hydrogen deckers, which have a max range of 250-300 miles. 
Looking at the X45/X46, it looks like they're doing around 250 miles a day.

A diesel StreetDeck has a hypothetical range of around 450 miles

Even looking at the likes of the 19, from some quick calculations it looks as though they're doing around 250 miles a day, and the dreaded 42A doing around 180-200 miles.

Obviously, with they can upgrade the more profitable routes with EVs (like the 21) which would cascade 16 basically new StreetDecks to other routes, but there's only so many they can upgrade before they run out of routes they can afford to upgrade!
