|
| The Provincial
Tramways Company should have started
services in Gosport in 1878. However,
the first service from the ferry
to Anns Hill did not begin until
1882. The trams were horse-drawn
and the route was extended to
Brockhurst, Elson Road. |
|
| Around the
beginning of the twentieth century,
the original name of Gosport Street
Tramways was changed to Gosport
and Fareham Tramways. New routes
were added, including one to Fareham
railway station. |
|
| Electric
trams were introduced in 1905
and a power station and tram shed
built at Hoeford. The company's
first buses were used on the route
to Lee-on-Solent. |
|
| In the 1930s
trams were abandoned in favour
of buses and the company changed
its name again, this time to the
Gosport and Fareham Omnibus Company. |
|
| In 1970
the operation was taken over by
the National Bus Company. Although
it continued to run separately,
management of the company was
transfered to Hants & Dorset. |
|
| With the
break-up of Hants & Dorset,
Provincial was given the Fareham
services of Hants & Dorset.
The company was then sold to its
management and employees, trading
as People's Provincial. The company
was later bought by the First
Group. |
