If bus eireann can turn all of its buses out like VWL103 then laziness and not bad maintenence standards were at the route of the problem. Maybe the DP/C's aren't so bad after all.

VWL 103 did have fog lights fitted along with VWL 104 for outbased services.

Doesn't make any sense to be totally honest. The bus looks great but I have never seen a bus company with two different liveries for a city bus. Back when the Bombardiers were launched on to the streets of Dublin and Cork in 1981 there was no policy to repaint the VanHool buses green. Dublin Bus is pretty good at repainting its fleet and bring them up to date pretty quickly. I still think the livery VWL103 looks well but I want to know if the interior was refitted as well? Do they refit the interiors when they repaint the exterior?

The problem with the new livery is that is is applied differently to every class of bus , hence each type must have its own paint diagrams , Broadstone has responcability for these and it is interesting that that some types have no diagrams , given the slow-down in the repaint cycles its possible that some types will not be in service when they come up for repaint.

Others have been done for route 236(formerly the 046 for LS services) & I think I saw route 249 branded at some stage as well.
