They're 16 years old now anyway, which is their average shelf life, not to mention they're shot to pieces. I imagine they'd sell quite quickly, should they move on from the fleet, as low-floor deckers must be in high demand for independents who are looking to get rid of high-floor Olympians.
There not shot, Some of them still run quite pleasantly after having a life in London then the X21 for 3 years. 6040 is excellent.
The B7TLs will more likely replace the remaining Tridents and Olympians with the Tridents going to smaller operators without GNE bearing the coast to modify them to DDA.
