A day trip on business by train to Portsmouth Harbour and hovercraft from Southsea to Ryde allowed a chance to see a variety of transport including a vintage open-top bus on an island tour, but not enough time to sample it. The 1938 tube stock is now being re-painted red, but one of the dinosaur livery stock is shown here.
