56 will most likely get electrics next contract , displacing it's current hybrids to the 257!

The 61-reg E400Hs are getting on a bit so its possible they may not be used for another contract. They could potentially be used for Stagecoach routes outside of London in future though. 

I think they possibly would be retained as they havent been used for two full contracts yet as the 15 term began in 2010 then got them 18 months later in early 2012. Also we have seen the Romford routes keeping 9.5 year old buses and the 162 will be using mostly 10 year old SDs so there is a possibility they will be given other term especially since they are euro 6 hybrids.
