This is the final picture in a story I have told since 1 April 2017. Former Stagecoach Alexander RL bodied Volvo Olympian 16752/R752DRJ was donated by the operator to The Bus Project, Portsmouth which, with the aid of many donors and volunteers, converted it to a shelter with 12 beds for homeless people in the Portsmouth area. The Bus Project gave the completed vehicle to the Robert Dolling Project to be used as a static shelter at St Agatha's Church, Portsmouth. It is shown there a few days after its weekend journey to its new home and, appropriately, on a very cold day when, perhaps, our concern for the homeless is at its greatest. 200_3_P1040008

Nearing the end of its months long journey from Stagecoach retiree to homeless shelter, Alexander RL bodied Volvo Olympian R752DRJ was displayed today at Fratton Park for public viewing before it officially joins the Robert Dolling Project at St Agatha's Church, Portsmouth. As The Bus Project, Portsmouth reached its culmination, the vehicle was towed by Boarhunt Heavy Recovery's DAF M27JOB (left) to Anson Road. 200_3_P1030986CE

This beautifully drawn poster was on the lower deck of former Stagecoach Volvo Olympian 16752/R752DRJ during its public viewing shortly before it was moved to St Agatha's Church, Portsmouth where it joined the Robert Dolling Project after being donated by The Bus Project, Portsmouth. A cheery interior will greet those able to be temporarily sheltered in the converted bus. 200_3_P1030981CE
