I would say that the order will be for the electric single deckers (Optare MetroCitys seem the most likely) for the 26/27 and some more gas buses for Runcorn - with perhaps a couple more vehicles added to one or both batches for additional spares. I can't see any hybrid double deckers being ordered this time unfortunately

It's more than 23 unfortunately - same with the 14 and 18. At least the 14 and 18 are still receiving double deckers though
