I am not instinctively a fan of the basic First 'Barbie' livery but I very much like the scheme used on their training buses and I like training vehicles as a specialism within wider bus photography. Alexander ALX300 bodied Volvo B10BLE 62209/W597RFS is seen standing at Fareham bus station. I must admit I was a little disappointed to discover that this is the one vehicle I have photographed before but, on the bright side, on that occasion it was broken down whereas today it was, presumably, serviceable. 200_3_P1130013CE

I have wanted for some time to photograph the First Driver Training vehicles which are currently a common sight around Gosport and Lee on Solent but was not expecting to do so in these circumstances. At lunchtime on Thursday 3 August 2017, Alexander ALX300 bodied Volvo B10BLE 62209/W597RFS had broken down on Broom Way, Lee on Solent close to the junction with Cherque Way. Just over an hour after my first picture, no recovery vehicle had reached the site. 200_3_P1020156CE
