SATURDAY once again saw the bus off to the smart, new Isle of Man Transport bus yard at Banks Circus. The depot was rebuilt in the late 1990s and features amongst other things the effective ‘Britannia’ bus wash. Its like a regular car was but -BIGGER!

Its filled with only the best Auto-Glym Fleetwash and guarantees a streak-free finish - and protect paint work treated to regular washing such as the Isle of Man’s bus fleet including the computer bus.

Whilst there, an opportunity is taken to refuel - using the computerised ‘Dataplate’ attached to all the Island’s buses including this one. It allows fuel to be monitored and recorded.

An on-going ‘thank you’ to the staff of the Transport Yard who welcome the bus on its regular visits over the last ten years...
