Portsmouth City Coaches Irizar i6 bodied Scania K400EB4 N77PCC 'Lydia' at Clovelly Road, Southbourne. 200_4_P1010577E

A Sunday morning is a good time to visit Clovelly Road, Southbourne to see some of the Portsmouth City Coaches fleet (active or otherwise) at rest. Five vehicles can be seen in this shot. In front of Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 M555ELK is a Bova Futura bodied VDL N777SSE. SF57JSY is a Mercedes Benz Sprinter. I identified only one of the two double deck vehicles in the compound, the further of the two from the camera, Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied DAF DB250 LJ04LFK. 200_3_P1130321E

A Sunday morning is a good time to visit Clovelly Road, Southbourne to see some of the Portsmouth City Coaches fleet (active or otherwise) at rest. Some ill-timed low sun on an otherwise showery morning made the front shot very difficult This reverse shot is a little more pleasing. Wright Commander bodied VDL SB200 YJ55KZX carries an overall livery advertising Southern Co-op. 200_3_P1130328CE

A Sunday morning is a good time to visit Clovelly Road, Southbourne to see some of the Portsmouth City Coaches fleet (active or otherwise) at rest. The company's formal livery is rather pleasing and is seen here on Bova Futura bodied VDL N777SSE ' Siobhan' . 200_3_P1130323CE

A Sunday morning is a good time to visit Clovelly Road, Southbourne to see some of the Portsmouth City Coaches fleet (active or otherwise) at rest. The company's base livery is simple, clean and pleasing but, in an echo of its predecessor, Emsworth & District, there is quite a variety to be seen as on this Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 M555ELK. 200_3_P1130322CE

This is another of those photographs that has been a long time in the making and again I have been very patient. I have seen this former Centrebus East Lancs Omnidekka bodied Scania N94UD, M600ELK, several times but so far only in poor light or when I could not afford to stop. Now operated by Portsmouth City Coaches, it has to come quite a long way from it Southbourne home to perform its contract work for Swanmore College from this pick-up point in Park Gate, Hampshire. Pay service S1 runs via Whiteley. 200_3_P1120402CE
