One thing I've never understood and someone here maybe able to shed some light on this is there seems to be an abundance of ex London stagecoach tridents surfacing on eBay and ensign bus amongst others That surely could be converted to single door for relatively little cost and then cascaded to replace ageing Olympians and the like allover the uk, could it be a dda issue? Just seems madness and something I've never finally understood

The Hull rumour was written off last year when the Tridents displaced by Enviro400s there moved elsewhere. As for where they're coming from, given it's just a rumour at the moment, it's not know.
As for the London Tridents, while slightly off-topic, they're sold off as they're no longer owned by Stagecoach. When Stagecoach sold the London operation back in 2006, the fleet then was sold to a leasing comnpany and as such, Stagecoach would have to buy back the lease. Therefore, they've just sold them on bar a small few, presumably the ones that will move to Newcastle for City Sightseeing if that rumour turns out to be true.
