Based at Reading for a week to explore the South Downs and the surrounding area a lot of ground was covered between February and March 2019 visiting many new places.
The first trip consisted of the longest journey to Portsmouth to visit the Mary Rose, King Henry VIII's naval ship that sunk in the Solent and was recovered in the 1980's. before moving onto Havant and Guildford.
The second day is a slow journey to London via Maidenhead and Slough before returning from Waterloo Terminus via Surrey onboard South Western Railway Class 455858 to Guildford.
Day three was a wet and windy day at Swindon returning via a stop off at Didcot Parkway and visiting Reading Buses depot the same evening.
The penultimate day took in Basingstoke and Newbury with a trip on The Link service operated by Stagecoach and driven by my friend Ian for the return trip on Board Stagecoach 27834 Enviro GX62BVA.
The final day is a roundup of Buses and Trains at Reading.
