It went out on the one-off route 4R from Douglas via Foxdale, St Johns, Glen Maye, Niarbyl, and across the southern hills to Port Erin – a particularly scenic route, well worth getting up early just for the ride. It would then spend the day operating route 28 to Cregneash and The Sound (more superb scenery), finally travelling via Niarbyl and Glen Maye on route 8R to Peel, followed by a return trip on route 8A to Castletown, a short outward working of route 4 to Niarbyl and back all the way to Douglas.

All of the second batch of Citaros, 213-224 have now been fitted with luggage racks, and it would appear that these will be the only ones, intended primarily for use on the main routes passing the Airport, although not yet always so allocated. This has resulted in the removal of the seats in front of, and the used ticket bins behind the nearside wheel arch. The bins have not gone to waste however, as they have been reappearing in the first batch of Citaros, 201-211/231, which were not equipped with them originally.
