Our Olympians aren't Lowbridge though - most of them are 14ft 3, only exceptions are the re-roofed 16833 and 16836 which are 14ft 6in.

Stagecoach specify what historically would be considered 'Low Height' for Double Decks.
There are exceptions - Cambridge Park & Ride for example.
London buses are now built to a 'Highbridge' spec, although this wasn't always the case, i.e most former London Olympians were low height.

By the way, London Tridents come in both Short & Long versions, it was the long version I had in mind.

Still not sure from your answers if London full height Double Decks are an issue, it's usually down to Bridge heights.
