StreetLite 242 is looking good, it'll be much better with a Manx Registration though.
Bus Vannin have also posted a photo of Gemini 168 operating the Douglas Hopper Service today.
Quote:The Douglas Hopper running today for the visiting 1,200 cruise ship passengers.
It operates from the Sea Terminal to Derby Castle, TT Grandstand, Manx Museum, Douglas steam station and Victoria Street shops when we have visiting cruise ships.

Thanks Spiiibz, looking forward to seeing your photos.
Not as good as the above but it's something
I have uploaded a picture of 177 and 179 to my Flickr. More to follow in the next couple of days
Nice photos FMN, looking forward to seeing the rest.
Spiiibz, will you be putting your photos on Flickr? Just asking because I'm not sure if I'm following you on there or not.
Also, Bus Vannin have released details of a disruption to Service 16A today.

Haven't got flickr.
I'm afraid it's not letting me upload my pictures as the files are too large. Not sure how to
correct this.
