TRAM CLUB ROMANIA

[Terry Ronald Lawson]

Two photographs follow which show two double deck 'Provincial' buses in Gosport. These buses used to operate in Gosport & Fareham.

The buses are nr. 35 a 1936 A.E.C. Regent with Park Royal bodywork. This bus ran in service until the mid 1960s and since then it has been privately owned and beautifully preserved.

The other bus is nr. 55, a 1942 Guy Arab with a 1955 body built by Readings of Portsmouth. This bus ran in service until 1970. It is now owned by 'First' the largest bus company in the UK, as a heritage vehicle.

The two buses are seen at Gosport bus station in the first view, and at Stokes Bay in the second view, both on 2nd August 2009.
