Until it's announced by the company, no one with that information will give that info publicly. 9 Emeralds for Dundee and the Electric BYD's for Yardley Wood are due December/January. I thinks that's all is known so far.

If they're already delivered to Glasgow, they not on order are they.

The above is only what I'm aware of that are still due, not exhaustive.
