R752DRJ - A New Home - 30 November 2017

This is the final picture in a story I have told since 1 April 2017. Former Stagecoach Alexander RL bodied Volvo Olympian 16752/R752DRJ was donated by the operator to The Bus Project, Portsmouth which, with the aid of many donors and volunteers, converted it to a shelter with 12 beds for homeless people in the Portsmouth area. The Bus Project gave the completed vehicle to the Robert Dolling Project to be used as a static shelter at St Agatha's Church, Portsmouth. It is shown there a few days after its weekend journey to its new home and, appropriately, on a very cold day when, perhaps, our concern for the homeless is at its greatest.
