R752DRJ Progress (2) - 15 November 2017

Seven and a half months after my first photograph of this former Stagecoach Alexander RL bodied Volvo Olympian 16752/R752DRJ at ASDA Fareham, the converted bus is nearly ready to support homeless people in the Portsmouth area. Those months and weeks have seen a lot of hard work by a lot of people, widespread generosity and one unfortunate incident of mindless vandalism documented in my photograph of 4 August 2017.

The rear window still needs to be repaired but the bus now carries supporter information on both sides and on the rear. It is due to be displayed publicly at Fratton Park on 26 November 2017 and then move to its new home at St Agatha's Church as part of their Robert Dolling Project.
