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. By around 11am, three buses had arrived at Gosport. Following the departure of the unique Wadham Stringer bodied ACE Cougar H523CTR with a good crowd on board a better view was available of Portsmouth City Transport Leyland Titan PD2 112/ORV989 with Provincial Leyland National 2 A301KJT. I don't think the grim setting of Gosport's shabby bus station has changed much - except to deteriorate - since People's Provincial actually operated. I was also surprised to note that First was operating no service. 5300_DSC_1641CE

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. By around 11am, three buses had arrived at Gosport. From l-r are Provincial Leyland National 2 A301KJT, Portsmouth City Transport Leyland Titan PD2 112/ORV989 and the unique Wadham Stringer bodied ACE Cougar H523CTR, formerly no. 3 of People's Provincial. I think this line up rather conters the pejorative 'like the back of a bus' but I don't think the grim setting of Gosport's shabby bus station has changed much - except to deteriorate - since People's Provincial actually operated. I was also surprised to note that First was operating no service. 5300_DSC_1627CE

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. The second to arrive at Gosport was Portsmouth City Transport Leyland Titan PD2 112/ORV989. Gosport's shabby bus station had plenty of space as First was surprisingly operating no service. 5300_DSC_1607R
