Dealings With Competition
Southern Vectis was the National Bus Company subsidiary on the Isle of Wight before NBC's break-up and privatisation in 1986. It began, and remained, the dominant operator on the Island, only running up against what has been called "Token Competition". Southern Vectis now faces virtually no competition following disbandment by the Isle of Wight Council of its Wightbus service, which previously ran on a number of largely uncompetitive routes.
