Yeah they are Jordan - not sure what ones but hopefully I should see them coming off the boat tomorrow evening so I'll post on here when I know. Hope to get a ride on one when they're over

55 returned to use today, noted on route 13. The new Citaro is situated behind the bus wash, it carries Bus Vannin branding but no fleet number yet. Arriva Citaro MA38 has been in regular use on driver familiarisation, however MA27 appears to have has less use, not noted out of the depot today.
It would appear that DAF 57 has now been shipped, having left the dead patch, 225 now being in its spot.

DAF 55 has had its advert frames removed around a week ago and forum member BMN 67M informed me the other day that 80 has also had its advert frames removed. Once 55 and 80 have departed (believed to be very soon) only twelve DAF/VDL DB250s - 1-3, 5-10 and 44-46 - will be in service
The three articulated buses have recently completed their trials and have left the island
