Bus Vannin marks 50 years since nationalisation

Bus Vannin is celebrating a special anniversary today - it's 50 years after the Island's bus services were nationalised.

In 1976, Douglas Corporation's yellow buses and Isle of Man Road Services' red buses became a single government-run operation.

The anniversary is being marked with a series of events, including an exhibition at the House of Manannan in Peel.

On Facebook, Bus Vannin says it's looking forward to the next 50 years of serving the community.
