With them going red, it seems unlikely. You'd be diluting about a third of the brand by doing so - granted this sometimes happens owing to the current allocation being VOR, but not always.
I think given that the Lime is suggested to be in-line to receive brand new vehicles this year is another reason why it wouldn't happen.
On another note, B9TLs 6114/6115 have now arrived at Percy Main. They should enter service immediately.
