Two of the controversial bendy-buses are being prepared for trials on Manx roads.
Drivers are being trained to use the articulated vehicles and to get used to handling them on local routes. It is envisaged that the buses will be used for school transport in particular.
The trials are taking place without passengers on board and will last about a month.
Speaking live on Mandate on Manx Radio today, Community, Culture and Leisure Minister Graham Cregeen told James Davis an itinerary for the trials has been arranged:
Fundraiser for TT rider Maria Costello surpasses £220k
Warmer than average May for Island
Manx BirdLife awarded funding for new warden
Increased DfE support 'to tackle rising costs and global pressures'
