The MAN Enviro400s aren't anything special - they were a trial as part of the 2009/10 order; ST would have had Enviro400s of some description no matter what.
The E20Ds on order this year are to replace the X reg MAN ALX300s - remember that they are not DDA compliant and so need to be removed from service before the end of the year.

Finally, they didn't 'swap' Tridents for Enviro400s - it was possible to remove the Tridents as Enviro400s were spare, however since then the PVR has increased and the ALX400s have been required back in service with other depots.

but that still doesn't explain the solos? They already had newish solos the 07's they didn't need the bluebird ones
