On New Years Day 2020, The Provincial Society operated an Ale & Ride event from Gosport and Fareham Bus Stations using a number of preserved vehicles. After my Gosport shoot [qv], I had taken a break in Havant and then made my way to Fareham where I saw four participants which included the very well known Southampton City Transport Leyland Atlantean 133/TTR167H. As had been the case at Gosport, First were running no service so there plenty of room for the Ale & Ride buses and a couple of National Express vehicles one of which, Lucketts operated Caetano Levante bodied Scania K410 EB6 X560656/BK67LOF, is seen setting off from the bus station. 5300_DSC_1652CE

This uncharacteristically busy picture was the one I liked most from a hastily captured series at Fareham station. Well known preserved Southampton City Transport Leyland Atlantean 133/TTR167H was on a shuttle service to the Model Railway Exhibition at Fareham Leisure Centre on the second of the two days 5 & 6 October 2019. The first day's service was operated by Dennis Dart N324ECR. 5300_DSC_1493CE

Herbert Walker Avenue in Southampton is a good place to see buses and coaches and today saw the well known and much photographed former Southampton City Transport Leyland Atlantean 133/TTR167H resting there in bright autumn sunshine. 200_3_P1080170CE

This beautifully preserved East Lancs bodied Leyland Olympian E289HRV started life as no. 289 of Southampton City Transport. Its interesting history is documented on a page of the website of current owner Southampton & District Transport Heritage Trust. I was pleased to find that I have previously photographed it when it was with Xelabus. It is seen here arriving slightly dramatically at Swanwick station with the driver's jacket flapping from an open cab window. It would leave as the 1315 departure to Bursledon Brickworks Museum. A free shuttle service operated throughout the day in conjunction with the Museum's latest open day, its Bricks, Beer and Buses Festival. 200_3_P1000544

During my excursion to photograph Zany Zebras [qv], I was very pleased to come across former Southampton City Transport Leyland Atlantean 133/TTR167H in Latimer Street, Southampton. The vehicle was operating short tours from this stand into Eastern Docks. These tours were part of the Celebrating Queens Park event which, in turn, was part of the national Love Parks Week. 200_2_P1110647
