He did admit that they only need 12 for the 52s though, which makes the order for 16 a bit odd. However, I'm thinking that they were ordered when the 52s were every 6 minutes (requiring 14 buses).

They'll most-likely see-off the 12 Darts without a doubt. Being optimistic, the additional 4 will hopefully see-off the Cadets! The only things at the depot that are older than the Cadets are the Geminis, which probably won't be replaced as they're for school services (well, that's what they're here for!).
