Dublin Bus purchased 20 Volvo B7LA's with Wrights of Ballymena Eclipse bodywork in 2000.
Initially used to supplement high frequency routes to various suburbs, route 90 & new route 65C, all now work exclusively on route 10 from Belfield via the City Centre to the Phoenix Park.
All 20 vehicles are garaged in Broadstone & maintained in ajoining Phibsboro Garage.
AW 12 seen above passing Easons bookstore on O'' Connell Street 8th May 2004.
AW 3 seen on Westmoreland Street on the 2nd July 2004 heading for the Phoenix Park in the new corporate Dublin Bus colours.
While the new colours suit the AW class, the front styling is very bland & the distinctive Wright W logo & curved light clusters fade into insignificance.
