Classic Buses in Fareham (3) - 1 November 2020

02 Nov 2020 90
As the country prepared for a second national lockdown and I felt this might be my last opportunity for a while for meaningful photography, I had the most pleasant of surprises at Fareham station. I had gone there anticipating rail replacement services and these were indeed running (and are illustrated in my photostream) but of even greater interest was a gathering of classic buses in the car park. There were eventually six before all departed. This was, apparently, not an organised event as such but a last trip by their respective owners before storing the vehicles for the winter. To the right is the very striking Plaxton Elite bodied Leyland Leopard UUF329J is former Southdown 1829 and, at one time, appeared in the far less inspiring National livery. To the left is ECW bodied Bristol RE MH1257/DAE511K in Bristol colours. 200_4_P1000946CE
