141 was out and about on Friday on a test run. I managed to get a photograph of it and I will upload it and pictures of the other new buses (Volvos, Citaros and StreetLite 134) to my Flickr account in the next few days when I get time I still haven't seen any of the new StreetLites in service other than 134. 126 was down at Port Erin on Friday night along with DAFs 5 and 7 EDIT: Trident 12 is still in use - saw it at Banks Circus on Saturday evening |

DAF 7 was in Douglas this morning, I seen it on the webcam  . I'd imagine 141 is at Ramsey or Port Erin if it is in service? |

Tried to get a Picture off 142 at Port Jack today on my phone but turned out blurry. Will try get one tomorrow if it is on route 13 as i work up there. Hopefully turns out better. Daf 7 was on Route 1 To Port Erin today also. |

Hopefully turns out better. Daf 7 was on Route 1 To Port Erin today also. Thanks for trying, shame about the end result. Very unlucky. I Know how it feels, one of my shots of 82 turned out like that during the summer, luckily I seen her again and even managed a trip. Nice to hear 7 is still out, the last Maroon and Cream ELC. 160-170 will look out of place when 7/123/124/126 and the remaining Red and Cream Vehicles leave the fleet. Does anyone know if 160-170 will be repainted Silver? Also, has anyone managed a ride on 141/142 yet and does anyone know where 141 is? Thanks to everyone for the frequent Bus Vannin updates. |

DAFs 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10 have all been out in service in the last few days so there are still a few in service - 5, 6, 9 and 10 have all lost their "R" designation. I have been told by two different sources that out of the East Lancs bodied buses VDLs 44-46 are being retained. I'm not sure if these or Volvos 160-170 will be painted silver. I will try and find out whenever I can I'm going to take a trip up to Ramsey tomorrow to see what's in service in the north so I will report any findings as soon as I can |

I've seen a few DAFs on the Douglas Webcam, and the Tridents. It'd be very interesting to see 44-46 in the silver livery. I'd like to see a uniform fleet livery again. Also, It makes sense that 44-46 are to be retained, even though Tridents 17 & 18, which are the same age, and 19-24, which are a year younger, because the Trident is never a Chassis with much favourable comment. I suppose this means that remaining Tridents 12/17-24 are to be disposed of? Finally, are 1,2&3 withdrawn, and is 82 still in service? |
