My understanding there is several more to come for Durham Park & Ride operations for when they take over from GCT.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Chances are, they are probably leased for the length of the Park and Ride contract, therefore once the contract finishes, they be returned to the leaser.

I did hear they were leased, so will probably return them.
