Why aren't you saying where it is?

Doesn't look like the London Bus Export Company in Lydney, although roughly the same size.

It's not in Lydney

No mystery and I am happy to reveal most places I visit but not this place unless I know you!

Hello Mid Diesel mate, I must have missed this thread when originally posted, what a superb set of photos you have there, and another excellent find! When are you moving in ?

Do you fancy a certain scrapyard in an airfield site shortly fella?

pm me mate -- I am at work...

Whay sort of area is this lot in?

'Cos in post 10, picture 8, there is a building that you can just see over the top of the bus on the right. And it looks a tad like an orlit?

I was going to ask a similar question, some of the background buildings are very WW2 airfield-esque...

Its also NEWER than SOME of the school run busses round here

They were all taken with an eldely Nikon D70s with the 18-70mm lens. ISO200

The vast majority were taken with a tripod tbh apart from the very sunny ones. The place was quite dark - especially where the buses were hidden in the trees.

Ooh, what a find!

I wonder how they all ended up there?

They have been collected over a period of about 30 or 40 years by one or two people who own the land.

Originally they were a source of spares for the working fleet.

There are a few modern buses in there still fulfilling this purpose


There are some super rare vehicles in here

But you will never tell where this place is. Or will you ? ? ? ?
