New Buses Taken Out Of Service Over Health And Safety Concerns

A fleet of buses on the Isle of Man have been taken off service after a incident in the UK involving the same bus.

The new Streetlite vehicles, which were brought to the Island at the end of last year, costing in the region of £1 million are currently off road, as a precautionary measure.

A bus operator in the UK has reported an incident with the same model. There are concerns that it was caused by an issue with steering.

Isle of Man bus and rail have been advised by the manufacturer to take them off routes until somebody can assess them all.
