Which means that London Buses has virtually replaced its entire
fleet in 8 years, something that has only happened once before, in
1947-54 with RTs and RFs. The average age of the fleet may now be
lower than it was in 1954; if so, it's the lowest it has ever been.

It's even more dramatic than that.

I remember the first low-floor Tridents arriving at Barking Garage
(Stagecoach East London), in the T xxx KPU registration series.
Within three or four years, they were displaced away from London by
newer Tridents, and I now see T xxx KPU buses down on the south coast,
and also in Cambridge, with other parts of the Stagecoach empire.

Stagecoach has a Cambridge Park and Ride fleet comprising those Tridents and some S-registration examples. I gather they are expecting to replace it fairly soon.
