With limited space in Douglas Bus depot M193 a 1980 Metrobus was moved to Jurby to make room for the New Volvo's.
New to London Transport, this Metrobus operated until 2000 – latterly as a trainer with London United Busways. It was then sold to Thames Valley Training who repainted it in their Blackpool Corporation Inspired livery.
The Bus was imported to the Isle of Man in 2006.
