Is there a demonstrator in at Dublin Bus?

L1011

Noticed a completely white, undecalled bar basic DB logos 141 Volvo/Wright today on Harcourt Street, in service. It could be a wedding bus pushed in to normal service before the decals go on of course.

Yes, it entered service today on route 9. There are two demonstrators currently with Dublin Bus. The other bus, a diesel electric hybrid, is expected to operate on the 151.

That video at the bottom of the page of DM2 pulling in to the garage has a very strange (and annoying!) high-pitched whine coming from the engine bay as it passes the camera - hope that's not normal!

What is the deal with the different coloured frontal display on DM2. It has 2 different shades of orange on the front when I looked at a clearer photo of the bus.

Best quality shot I've seen of her. DM2 has been rather elusive to the camera wielding bus fan as of yet

I suspect there may be two LED displays - one for the destination and one for the number. It would explain how the number is visible in my picture but not the destination.
