Wright started bodying the DAF DB250LF doubledeck chassis as well as the Volvo B7TL, their only doubledeck offering ever until the DAF. With Arriva's large fleet of DAF DB250s in London, not surprisingly they are the first customer, and the first bus is DW1 (LJ03MWM) seen on display at an Arriva event at the Covent Garden Museum on June 14th 2003. Whereas the Gemini doubledeck body on the Volvo is known as the Eclipse, for the DAF it is designated the Pulsar. Behind DW1 is Arriva Midland Red North's "Bus of the Future".
