 Large numbers of Polish built Scania Omni series buses were entering service with Go-Ahead's southern subsidiaries in 2008. Southern Vectis 1111 (HW58ASX) is a Scania N270UD seen arriving at SHOWBUS international 2008 with one of the most impressive special destination displays for the event. |
 Southern Vectis was expecting a delivery of sixteen Alexander Dennis Enviro400 doubledeckers at the end of 2013, but the first six were diverted to fellow Go-Ahead subsidiary Oxford Bus. They were needed for a new shuttle service linking Bicester Town Station with Oxford, prior to the completion of the revived rail line which links through to Marylebone. The buses arrived in Southern Vectis livery and were used as such, some straying on to normal routes like 1579 (HW63FHA) seen at Headington on route 8 into the city in August 2014.

 The previous month, 1580 (HW63FHB) was also seen on the 8 heading for Barton along Oxford High Street. These two buses eventually joined the other ten on the Isle of Wight, but the other four, 1581-1585 remained in Oxfordshire and later transferring to Thames Travel as 251-254 and given a blue based livery for the River Rapids Services linking Oxford with Reading, Henley and Wallingford.

 Seen at work on the island in June 2019 is an unidentified Enviro400.
