On my travels today i have seen Citaros 228 and 230 on Douglas routes. Must have started service today. Also, i seen Daf 1 heading towards the sea terminal with England as it's destination.
Trident 12 and two DAFs (1 appearing to be one of them) are expected to be withdrawn imminently. The remaining DAFs are due to be withdrawn when the six new Volvos enter service
Trident 12 was at Banks Circus today, DAFs 3, 6 and 7 also around
Yesterday I had a ride on brand new Citaro 227 (LMN-227-H) which currently only has a rear fleet number. Overall it's a nice bus with smooth, comfortable ride and a good turn of speed - this is one of the best examples I have travelled on
Dart 82 has been off the road for a few weeks and is currently in the workshops being repaired
New Volvos that have been delivered are 171-4 with 175/6 still to arrive. These examples have a slightly different seating configuration to the JMN-R batch with the new batch having 72 seats compared to the earlier examples which have 71
Citaro 229 is now in service - it was on route 1 this afternoon. All four of this batch are now in service

Confirmed that DAF 1 has not left the island. It was at the back of the depot this afternoon
Volvos 175 and 176 were delivered last night - all six are now on the island and should be entering traffic shortly
Edited to add: The new StreetLites are due imminently
Volvo 172 is now in traffic - saw it on route 2 this afternoon
They're not in service yet Dave but when they enter traffic they will be deployed on the 13 and 29 from Douglas and the 16, 17/18/19 and 20 from Ramsey
