FDL677V Southern Vectis 677 Sandown
This one's a survivor! New to Southern Vectis in 1980, this Bristol VRT/SL3/6LXB with ECW body is seen in post-privatisation livery in Sandown. In 1996 it was transferred to Solent Blue Line who used it for spares after a couple of years but it was put back together again and ran until 2001. It was then bought by Johnsons of Hodthorpe who used it for another 13 years and in March 2015 it entered preservation at 35 years old.
