Not for maybe three years... I'm not a bus enthusiast so I paid no attention to the specifics, but on that visit it seemed that Vectis were running... well, buses! Just like buses anywhere really, the same noise, smell, cramped seats, jerky acceleration and deceleration, being thrown side to side on the corners and roundabouts, exorbitant ticket prices. Have there been massive changes recently?

I'm reliably informed that this picture:
...shows the state of the art in guided buses at the moment. Call me picky, but I don't really want to clamber my way on board that and wedge myself into one of those seats.

Good luck trying to get the windows to budge! (Just to be clear they're SUPPOSED to open)
We managed to get one open during a recent Forum visit! Shutting it again however...
A manager saw me doing the photos on one of my visits in VEC/TIS days and made me an offer I couldn't refuse... a cab ride all the way along the line, both directions...
I remember when I first visited that 03079 was stabled at Sandown on what I assume was the stump of the line to Merstone and Newport.And all perfectly above board as well.
