It went out on the one-off route 4R from Douglas via Foxdale, St Johns, Glen Maye, Niarbyl, and across the southern hills to Port Erin – a particularly scenic route, well worth getting up early just for the ride. It would then spend the day operating route 28 to Cregneash and The Sound (more superb scenery), finally travelling via Niarbyl and Glen Maye on route 8R to Peel, followed by a return trip on route 8A to Castletown, a short outward working of route 4 to Niarbyl and back all the way to Douglas. Thanks for the updates. Much appreciated Also to add Trident 20 was recovered this morning |

Contrary to reports elsewhere our buses ARE covered by insurance!" I will try to find out which are the buses involved. |

One of them, probably the Citaro, has been reported as requiring an engine rebuild. |

45 seat Streetlite Max 241 and 242 appear to be taking monthly turns on hire or loan for use airside at Ronaldsway Airport. Volvo 167 has now been repainted silver. Volvo 169 has had its seats reupholstered in the now standard red moquette, but the other repainted Volvos retain the original grey seating. |

The two new Mercedes Sprinter minibuses have arrived, yet to acquire number plates. Flood damaged Citaro 221 has been repaired and returned, but Volvo 161 has been written off, damaged beyond repair. Volvo 165 was repainted silver earlier this year and 166 has followed it into the paint shop, leaving only four of the batch still in ‘East Yorkshire MS’ colours. |
