Cambridge are due eleven, as 15924-34.
If you're still thinking diverted rather than additional, then the nine for Northampton (15935-43) would better fit the bill.

15924-32 are diverted to Torquay. So either Cambridge will now get 15933-43 with Northampton getting the first 9 of the extended order or Northampton will now take 15933-41 with 15942/3 joining the first 9 of the extended order at Cambridge.

As an aside for our Merseyside readers.....when Stagecoach took GTL over, 15924-6 were used for 3 of the Metrobuses included with the sale so second time around for these numbers. Pasted from the achive fleetlist section

Personally I'm still not convinced these are for Torquay just yet. The Cambridge Gold routes have a launch date of Sept 15th, these new South West routes go live on Sept 30th. Therefore in my mind Cambridge will get their vehicles first.

As has been said the Scania order has been extended, and I can see the Torquay vehicles slotting in between the Cambridge and Northampton deliveries.

Just been confirmed by someone posting on the Stagecoach Enthusist Facebook Group, Cambridge's order for Gold-Spec Scania Enviro400 has been cancelled for this year and will now come in the 2014/5 order. As such, these 9 are indeed for Torquay with their Glod route launching in September.
