New Years Day Ale & Ride - 01 January 2024

Route 24

Once again, The Provincial Society will be running our free service “24” between Gosport and Fareham via Lee on Solent, Stubbington and Titchfield from 11am to 5pm.

As previous years have proved so popular, this year we are expending our services to join up with Friends of King Alfred Buses in Winchester and their running day. We will be using our dual-purpose Leyland National 2 A301KJT to compliment a FoKAB coach on the classic service “69” between Fareham and Winchester!

We plan to have all our buses running on the day with some very special guests too, so it will definitely be another day to remember.

So why not save your money from an expensive New Years Eve and join us, sampling fine ales and local food at some of the south’s best hostelries whilst taking a trip back in time on some wonderful vintage buses!

For further information, see our Facebook page. Or, email rick.jackson@provincialsociety.org

Reg No Year Type Operator
PUF 165H 1969 Leyland Leopard Southdown 465
