Wight Transport Photos
Southern Vectis 1145 - HW09 BBZ - is the only Scania in the fleet with its old seat fabric and is about to depart on the 18:35 route 3 journey towards Ventnor
A few rows further back one seat has half of the new GSC blue fabric
Today I went to the Festival of Transport at Havenstreet Steam Railway and was able to capture train 483 007 at its new home and the bus museum had 2 buses on display and there was a modern coach in the car park. Then I went to West Wight and got a few more pics of 1403 - all photos coming soon!
1145 was new to Southern Vectis in 2009 and operated almost every route. Along with all other '58 reg Scania's, 1145 was one of a few '09 reg buses to leave the island in 2018 for a sister company however 1145 was the only one which went to Salisbury Reds with the others going to Bluestar, Damory and Morebus. In the Summer of 2020 1145 returned 'home' to the island for school duplicate services but was only repainted back into SV green a few weeks ago before making her first appearance in the new coat of green on 12th May 2021.
1145 is the only Scania in the fleet with the old seat fabric and the only green double-decker not to have next stop announcements. Also all of the double-deckers now have a similar AA breakdown advert
