One of London's controversial 'Bendy-buses' will be arriving on the Isle of Man on Monday.

The bus is coming to the Island for a two-week trial, organised by The Department of Tourism and Leisure, which operates Bus Vannin.

It is being loaned by Arriva in London where they displaced the traditional Routemaster buses - much to the dismay of many, including Mayor Boris Johnson who claimed they "wipe out cyclists".

Member with responsibility for public transport, Graham Cregeen MHK, said the trial would allow the Department to assess whether the buses would be viable on the route from Port St Mary to Douglas via the airport and also on school runs.
