thanks, what does or did the R mean
In general after the recent re-shape of the school services there are no longer any vehicles that are allocated to school services only, as many school journeys are now public routes as well, so because of this there can be any vehicles working 'school' routes. The 'R' supposedly designates Ramsey vehicles, however these appear to mean nothing as most 'R' vehicles are not seen near Ramsey, indeed today at the opposite end of the island I have noted 'R' marked vehicles 203, 206 and 207.
Volvo 162 has now gained an "R" designation.
A source at Bus Vannin has informed me that a twenty-sixth Citaro has arrived in the form of ex-EvoBus BD62 LPX
It is to be numbered 226 in the Bus Vannin fleet
I have been told by my source at Bus Vannin that six Citaro LEs (227-232) and six Volvo B9TLs (presumably 171-6) are on order along with two Mercedes-Benz Sprinter minibuses. The Volvos are due in November whilst the Sprinters are due at the end of this month
Credit to Garry Brookes on the fleetlist - 226 has now entered service. Currently no confirmation on the registration at present
