 Seen at the Alton Rally in 2006 is former Portsmouth 2 (LRV992) a 1958 Orion Titan PD2, its MCW body converted to open top in 1971. Prior to that it was fleet number 100. With changes in ownership in Portsmouth it operated for Southampton, Southdown and Transit Holding's Blue Admiral. It was transferred to Oxford to operate a Thames Transit service to Blenheim Palace. When the Transit companies were taken over by Stagecoach it was painted in Devon General livery for use on Torquay seafront. During that time it was painted gold for Her Majesty's Golden Jubilee and then back into Portsmouth livery and finally in 2014 back to Devon General colours. It was sold to North Yorkshire's Viscount Travel for service, but also an active preservation. |

 Another Stagecoach Oxford bus escaping to the seaside was sister vehicle 18131 (KN04XJF), seen in Dawlish on the "hop" branded service to Exeter. Brookes Bus vehicles were often sent to Devon to cope with summer crowds when the student services in Oxford were reduced for the University holidays. Picture ref A68 |
