I've since been told the Enviro400 (and a Routemaster which is also in the depot) is on the island for a transport conference

The Scania based Enviro400 demonstrator (YN16 CFU) was trialled by Bus Vannin before leaving the island
Currently here is MCV EvoSeti-bodied Volvo B5TL demonstrator BF65 WHZ which has previously been operated by First South Yorkshire and Ensignbus

The MCV B5TL is now carrying fleetnumber 159, presumably as a useful addition to the intensive service required during the TT Race fortnight.

165 is the latest Volvo to be repainted

I ask you that Volvo 161 had left the fleet, so I wondered 161 gone for repair or scrapped or sold? 161 is not very old really.

An earlier posting said it was written off (flood damage)
