Very good article. There's just one thing that I thought could perhaps be included: The A3 public transport corridor, supported by the council from Portsmouth to Waterlooville with the zip branded buses. Various infrastructure improvements etc etc, along with the dreaded Real Time System that was eventually turned off as it was so bad! Here are the main pages I found about it: http://www.portsmouth.gov.uk/living/7569.html, http://www3.hants.gov.uk/zip I'm not sure how it would sit in the structure of the article though?
Sadly the Fareham and Gosport BRT scheme is a bit out of scope... Arriva436/ talk/ contribs 19:13, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Yes, including the entire history of Gosport and Fareham would be wrong, but as of right now they get two sentences - one in the article, one in the lead, both about the creation of Provincial. They aren't mentioned anywhere else. The history of Gosport and Fareham has no bearing on Portsmouth, but the creation of Provincial does since they went on to operate in the city. It would be confusing if Provincial first appeared in the article as a major force in Portsmouth with no explanation as to how that happened.
More importantly, what are we going to do about the Portsmouth Corporation Transport situation? Renaming it here seems obvious, but should we move that article to Portsmouth Corporation Tramways (since it deals mostly with pre-1936 events), City of Portsmouth Passenger Transport Department (the name used for the longest period) or leave it where it is? Alzarian16 ( talk) 10:40, 29 July 2011 (UTC) Oh, I forgot to mention: News International contains as much pre-takeover history of The Times as this article does of Gosport & Fareham (two lines). Given that this article is much larger and covers a more diverse topic, that doesn't seem at all out of proportion. Alzarian16 ( talk) 11:07, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Was it trolleybus routes that had letters post-war and bus routes that were numbered, as stated in the text, or was it the other way round? Or were they combined later? Photos on these pages show trolleybuses on route 3/4 and my father took cine film in the last days of trolleybuses (1963) running the 5/6 and 17/18 services. But they might have been numbered by then to fit the impending switch to diesel buses. Hyperman 42 ( talk) 14:25, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
