Return Ride on the Isle of Wight

Our cameras have made further visits to the Isle of Wight to capture the atmosphere of the local bus transport scene. The first part of the programme shows the current operations of the island's major bus operator, Southern Vectis. Now under the management of the Go Ahead group it is introducing a new smart livery and image of two-tone green. The second part of our programme visits three 'Running Days'. The first in October 2004 is to celebrate 75 years of Southern Vectis. Based at the company's Ryde bus depot there were plenty of interesting vehicles, both island residents and visitors from the mainland. We take rides on a Bristol RESL 808 (HDL 23E) and open top Bristol LD 500 (MDL 954). The second running day is 2005, again featuring many vehicles and rides, finally highlights of the 2006 Running Day are recorded - here we take a ride on open top Bristol K5G 703 (DDL 50) and also Bristol LD 500 (MDL 954). So buy your return ticket and have some more rides on the Isle of Wight.
