Weight of Dublin Bus

Just something that popped into my head on the journey home today. What is the rough weight of a Dublin Bus double decker? (Assuming no passengers and two axles)

I think its about 11 tonnes. Most buses will have their nett and gross mass listed either and the front or rear left hand wheel.

Unladen weight 12,000Kg for an AV I think.

It should be printed on the side of every bus.
