X56 XAW was formerly Dublin Bus AV107 (00D 70107) new in November 2000. Behind the driving seat is a hinged box held closed with a swivel catch of the type fitted to used ticket bins and the like. There is a circular hole (just visible on the left edge) allowing something to be inserted or deposited. I am curious as to what the box was for. There doesn’t seem to be a lockable feature to the unit. I first wondered if it was a cash ‘drop box’ or such. Any ideas?
