  For the 3 axle buses (Articulated and "Superbuses"), do any of them have 2 driving axles?
  
  Does the Dennis Trident have 2 steering axles (Like the xOs and VSOs and Volvo Articulated) or just one?

  VSOs only have 1. VO / LO 3 axles have 2. Dennis Tridents have 1 only.
  
  All articulated buses, except SBS 998 Y, only have 1.

  Drive axles for VO/LO/VSO are the lastmost axle. Trident drive axle is the second axle.

  997A and 998Y have the second axle as drive axle. Third axle is a tag axle for weight distribution purposes.
