Volvo introduced its version of low floor bus, B7L, much later than other rivals. At the moment in London, B7L long length version only comes with Plaxton President bodywork and Alexander bodywork is not available. By comparing with Dennis Trident of the same bodywork, one of the major differences in B7L is that its central exit door is located a bit nearer to the rear end. Also, it appears with round corner windows. Metroline is the earliest London bus company to introduce long Volvo B7L.

There are now even more varities of bodywork available to short low floor double decker buses.
