Expecting the next 23 to arrive and be in service within a week or so lets say 5 arrive and they would be out within the week , can see the gas tank being extended ready for them arriving.
The problem then would be - who drives the buses from the Wheatsheaf to John Street or Fawcett Street? With Go North East, they can leave buses in Park Lane for an hour or so if they're interworking services that way on evenings. Driver just goes and sits in the officey bit I think? Stagecoach can't just leave their buses on John St/Fawcett St as all stops are used.
Got three months until the first buses in the next batch of 23 are due to arrive... Plenty of time. :p
