One possible reason why UK three-axle buses don't seem to be as long as they could be is probably because the rearmost axle is the drive axle rather than having a 'tag' axle that steers.
Ex-Hong Kong vehicles have been tried around UK city routes with 'difficulties' at junctions.
Even the Mercedes Citaro 'bendy' buses had problems negotiating city centres.
