Fleet Numbering
A new system of fleet numbering was introduced to Southern Vectis on 19 September 2006, creating sets of 'hundreds' to identify each vehicle type. The fleet numbers are based around the Go South Coast fleet, so no numbers are duplicated. In 2008, when the new Scania OmniCitys arrived, they had to be numbered 11xx as they would not fit into the 1xx category, Southern Vectis treats "11" and "1" as the same thing.
- 0xx - Ancillary vehicles
- 507 - DAF/Ikarus single-decker
- 19xx - Volvo B7TL double decks
- 33xx - Low floor Dennis Darts (inculuding ex-Wightbus Darts)
- 70xx - Coaches
- 46xx - Open top Volvo Olympians
- 10xx - Scania OmniDekka double decks
- 11xx - Scania OmniCity double decks
- 15xx - ADL Enviro400 double-deckers
- 38xx - Optare Solo SRs
- 29xx - Mercedes Benz Citaro Bendy-buses
- 48xx - Volvo Olympian double decks (Special Events fleet)
