    I was on O'connell Street the other day and spotted what look like a AV registered from 2000 with middle doors, is there many in service?

    AV116-130 were delivered dual door to operate Airlink routes 747 and 748. They were put into regular service around 2009 with the introduction of the new VGs, they mainly operate the 16 due to their extra luggage racks.

    Some of the batch have been withdrawn from service, with AV116-119 converted to single door and open top for use on the city sightseeing tours. It's expected the rest of this batch will end service later this year.

    There's a picture of an AV in its Airlink days on irishbuses:
