A few places have pairs, or RH shifters, but Front shifters aren't stocked anywhere

Because people either run just the rear or a pair. i.e. 1x9/10

I've got a 10spd one, came off a new bike. I'll never use it. What's one worth...£.10 ?

Mostly because Madison only sell the right hand or pairs of shifters.

Raleigh sell individual LH SLX shifters but no stock until 2nd April!

Because they are obsolete. Tried getting my LBS to order a set and the supplier had discountinued them...I havnt heard of any replacement SLX or XT. Might still be some in stock from Germany or ebay?

Available in 9sp, and in stock at Madison so any shop should be able to order one. Very rarely asked for, so not many shops will carry them as stock.

Is there any difference between the 9sp and 10sp front shifter?

don't reckon there is mate, I have a 9 speed slx front shifter and 9 speed on one bike and slx front shifter on another bike with 10 speed. they both are capable of shifting the chain into 3 postions, and both cranks had 44.36.22 chain rings originally... I'd like to know for definite though...

those were showing as out of stock when I needed one a couple of weeks ago, but yes, that is what the OP is after.
