Cannot remember the exact day last week but while traveling on the M27
I saw an open top Bus in First Livery going Eastbound.At the time I
thought "that's unusual " and then forgot about it.
Later it occurred to me that its destination may have been Portsmouth
in anticipation of the City's team winning the FA Cup.
That did indeed take place and while the Team took part in the Victory
parade in an old open topper from Portsmouth Transport days there
appeared to be a modern open topper following for associates.
From the TV coverage I watched it  looked like the Bus I saw.

Anyone know where it was brought from?

Probably Weymouth, which is in the same First administration group (First 
Hants and Dorset.)

Thinking about it that would be the most obvious , I had forgotten
that Southern National at Weymouth had been taken into the First
Empire.
I was thinking on the lines of coming from Devon or Cornwall.
