A teenage bus spotter has been named the winner of the Daily Echo’s £50 shopping voucher competition after snapping the paper’s distinctive red and white bus out on its travels.
Finley Nash, 14, who lives in Harefield, was chosen from a strong selection of entries to take the prize, after capturing the Echo bus parked on layover near Southampton Central Station. He was specifically searching for the distinctive bus at the time.
The competition invited readers to photograph the single-decker, operated by Xelabus, as it made its way around the city on the Bitterne Hoppa service, school routes and weekend rail replacement work.
Entries came in from across Southampton, with the bus spotted in Sholing, Bitterne, across the city centre and outside King Edward VI School.
The Echo bus, which first hit the roads last summer, has become a familiar sight for passengers and residents alike, with its bold livery making it easy to spot across the network.
