I don't know about the bodywork but I do know that First Glasgow operate tri axial E500's that are built for the Chinese markets. Now if ADL or Wrightbus body the tri axial B8TL, it would be the perfect replacement for the B9TL on the TTX offering the capacity and flexibility of a bus but the characteristics of a coach.
Have you got a source for this? Last I heard was that they were using this engine for coaches only.
