GENERAL NOTES

The fleet is in the process of being re-branded 'bus vannin' in lieu of Isle of Man Transport
Isle of Man Depertment of Community, Culture & Leisure has four depots, Douglas Railway yard, Peel, Port Erin and Ramsey, but individual vehicles are generally not specifically allocated to a particular garage, although in a recent departure from tradition, a number of buses have been specifically allocted to Ramsey depot and feature a small 'R' after their front and rear fleetnumbers. Additionally a number of older vehicles have an 'S' after their front and rear fleetnumbers, which indicates vehicles that should be the first call for schools buses, although in practice it is common to see these on regular service as well. Side fleetnumbers on both the 'R' & 'S' vehicles do not sport the letter.
Where a number in Roman numerals is quoted after a registration number, this refers to the number of psv's to have carried this mark eg MAN 93F[ii] indicates it to be the second bus to be registered with that number.
