Tours Isle of Man - SK15 GZG - 29/05/2014 14:54

News about Tours Isle of Man should be posted here

Four new coaches have arrived recently - three Volvo B12Ms (10, 11 and 70) a Bova Futura (38). They all carry Tours' new all-over white livery along with BMC 33

I'm going to create a Tours fleetlist for the main website in the next few weeks

Another coach to be numbered 12 is expected soon. The heritage fleet Bedford VAL has been sold to a new owner in Scotland

Also of interest is the unique ACE Puma (32) has been sold to local preservationists


RE: Tours Isle of Man - SK15 GZG - 20/06/2014 20:24

The latest arrival is DAF SB3000 (Plaxton Premiere) OJZ 9722


RE: Tours Isle of Man - SK15 GZG - 13/09/2014 13:28

DAF 12 has been re-registered M-111-MAN


RE: Tours Isle of Man - SK15 GZG - 26/06/2015 19:48

Recent departures from the fleet are Volvo 11 and Bova 38 which have returned to their lessors with DAF 12 and Volvo 70 also due to return to their lessors very soon. Withdrawn since the last update are Volvo 8, Scania 9 and Ivecos 2L and 21 which are due to go for onward sale. DAF 50 is due to be withdrawn and sold in the near future too

Arriving in the fleet are two King Long coaches - one is an XMQ6127 (f/n 4) and the other is an XMQ6800 (f/n 31). Another acquisition for the fleet (with another due to arrive fairly soon) is another Volvo which has been numbered 2. One final update is that Volvo 10 is now numbered 1

EDIT: I have since been informed by another source that the King Longs are in fact second hand and are not brand new as I was first informed. Apologies for any confusion this has caused
