Fleet
Damory was well known for its fleet of Bristol VRs: however, they no longer run any of the type, all examples having been replaced by Leyland Olympians transferred from Southern Vectis. Other notable vehicles include DAF SB220/Ikarus Citibus (480), some LDV Convoy and two Volvo B10B/Northern Counties Paladin. A Scania/Darwen Olympus arrived in mid-2008.
