Classic Buses in Fareham (12) - 1 November 2020

02 Nov 2020 59
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. ECW bodied Bristol RE 1457/LDV467F in very smart Royal Blue colours. This vehicle, much travelled in service and in preservation, began life with Southern National. 200_4_P1000959CE
