Southern Vectis 741 - K741ODL - Oakfield - a very wet day in October 2003!
Route 8 was not part of the Island Explorer network. It connected Ryde Tesco, Oakfield and the town, with Seaview. It was really a glorified town route, that flitted between Iveco minibus operation and Olympian operation throughout its operation. The Olympians were sometimes overkill - especially on rainy Autumn/Winter days - but in summer months, sometimes the Ivecos - especially the 23 coach-seated examples - didn't have the capacity that route 8 sometimes demanded. Here is 741 heading for Seaview, with a Dart on route 1 in the distance behind. Pictured in Oakfield.
