The opening of Dublin Bus's new Harristown Garage close to Dublin Airport in October 2004 signaled the end for the 20 Volvo B7LA Wright Eclipse Fusion articulated buses on route 10.
All 20 of this unique AW class were transferred from Broadstone to Harristown Garage, but with route 10 reverting back to its former Phibsboro home, the AW's were to be tasked on other duties.
