RE: Bus Vannin
StreetLite 242 is looking good, it'll be much better with a Manx Registration though.

Bus Vannin have also posted a photo of Gemini 168 operating the Douglas Hopper Service today.

Quote:The Douglas Hopper running today for the visiting 1,200 cruise ship passengers.

It operates from the Sea Terminal to Derby Castle, TT Grandstand, Manx Museum, Douglas steam station and Victoria Street shops when we have visiting cruise ships.

Please note: It only stops at these designated points. ‪#‎iomrailways‬

RE: Bus Vannin
Haven't got flickr.

I'm afraid it's not letting me upload my pictures as the files are too large. Not sure how to
correct this.
