Since I photographed this Xelabus Optare Spectra bodied DAF DB250 L131ELJ on 7 October 2014, it has lost its St Vincent College vinyls. In fact, browsing several pictures of the vehicle suggests that it carried those vinyls for only a short while. Today, it was back at ASDA Fareham on Freebus duties. Geotagging should really say Fareham 200_2_P1020348

This pleasing sight ticks so many boxes for me. I am a fan of both Xelabus and supermarket free buses not to mention many overall liveries. This Optare Spectra bodied DAF DB250 L131ELJ started service with Wilts & Dorset and was more recently with Velvet before arriving with current operator Xelabus. One of the joys of supermarket services is that the provider often uses a considerable number of its vehicles as my growing number of pictures now confirms. 200_2_P1000821
