- Today we head to the Bus Graveyard
In Devon lies loads of old buses awaiting to be scrapped or parts used for other vehicles
this was a permission visit
Exploring the dilapidated ruins of civilisation, abandoned buildings, creepy theme parks, military bases, and underground vaults containing the remnants of a by gone era.
Urban Exploration is not for Kids. Abandoned places are dangerous.

I remember riding on that exact open top tour bus.
In the mid 80s, there used to be places like closed down army bases, railway testing stations bankrupted factories, whole streets of compulsory purchased houses....just left sometimes fully furnished, often undiscovered for a few years, this was our idea of heaven!!!!, we had large storage yards where police stored impounded vehicles, and just forgot about them!!!
It along way for me to travel to see that sort of thing witch I've always wanted to from that sort of place of how they were look
They were probably withdrawn out of service due to not being DDA compliant, they have step entrances. But good vehicles for preserving.
Winkleigh devon it’s owned by a guy who recently passed and collects buses and he used to do tours but I guess they are going to be left
May I ask you who told you this because this seems to be fake information. The owner is Dan sheers and it's still in use.
Think some if not all being removed sold or scrapped
@@Urbanexboi Volvo citybus B10M D704 GHY is likely gone as its no longer there shown in a video more recent. The front grill of that one was donated to D705 GHY owned by Dave Tossell
0:45 there is the Devon & Cornwall tour bus!
Ahh so that’s where 38004 ended up .
I had heard that it was being scrapped .
I am a Weston Super Mare area lad and I remember this vehicle brand new as my dad worked for Badgerline and it was a part of a big fleet revamp .
It’s original fleet number was 5704 .
The fleet went from 5700 - D700 GHY to 5711- D711 GHY .
I had many a free trip on those buses before they were sent West & converted to open toppers .
5704 was a bit of a experiment vehicle in its time at WSM depot ..
It was the only double deck Volvo in the fleet to have Volvo front wheel nut Crome trims what looked nice.
It was the first to be fitted with wheel arch brushes to reduce the spray they produced on the wet roads while driving .
It also had hat I could call ram air deflectors , They were Strange and mounted on the front of the vehicle at a angle probably to reduce the amount of air while driving on the front of the vehicle and send it down the body sides .
Was a very sad sight must be over 200 buses here
@@Urbanexboi I bet so , It’s even tougher when there are vehicles that you recognize by either fleet number and : or registration number.
If you look back at “ Badgerline “ videos on TH-cam you will see it’s sisters in service long before conversation to a open topper & withdrawal were ever considered.
I must of had over a 1000 trips on 5704 and it’s sisters before they headed to life further west in Cornwall.
Where is this need to know so I can buy some of the buses or how owns them as I am a bus collector
Winkleigh airbase
@@Urbanexboi how owns the buses or property
@@calumvintagebuscoachtrains6297 some bloke called dave is all i know
@@Urbanexboi a word to the wise . Don't publicise where these are being stored . The reason i say this is , i presume this is private land . A friend of mine owns and has rebuilt 3 buses and a fire engine over the last 20 years
He got evicted from his first workshop he was renting on a farm because word got out as to where it was located and the farmer that rented the workshop to my friend was fed up with the amount of bus enthusiasts trespassing on his working farm . My friend was livid as not only did he have to find a new indoor storage shed for 4 vehicles that he could afford , he also had to move tools, parts and other sundries once he found that place. I don't know if these are fit for preservation or being stored prior to a trip to the scrapyard . If none of these are fit for preservation they could be used as parts donors for other buses .

Oh my god one of those is an ex Dublin Bus Leyland olympian. When you first pan round its the blue and cream livery with the orange stripe. Number 60 on the number display.
yeah my irish mate pointed it out to me im sure ive got pics inside on urbanexboi.co.uk
@@Urbanexboi I'll check it out thanks.
@@Urbanexboi just had a look. I don't think that ex Dublin Bus olympian can be restored. Depends on how long it has been stored outside and the degree that outside storage has effected the bodywork and engine, if it has its engine. The livery on it is very old, it was known as Dublin Bus core livery . Off the top of my head the last of the Leyland Olympians (known as the RH Class) were sold on by Dublin Bus cira 2006. So it likely to have been in England since that time if not earlier. I wonder how long it's been on that runway for too.
Does the owner plan to refurb any of these? There are some interesting classics here
Think they are havesting some of the crashed ones for parts and others are owned by a group of people
them first buses have theold livery as the livery is since updated exspet that bua at 0:33
yed

I believe its Bristol Traction or something similar. Remember seeing a video a while ago.

@@Urbanexboi I know, it's what the company was called or is called mate. Seen videos on it before
@@JonnyEggshellsThompson its definitely not Bristol traction or located near bristol
@@Urbanexboi OK, perhaps it was a different video. Either way, great to see. Love the fact that there is a ex Roslyn coach there.

@@Urbanexboi what part of devon. i restore old dublin buses
Am disgusted to see these places with perfectly good vehicles that bus companies just completely reject and throw away! Privatization bus companies make me sick! Arriva, Stagecoach, Go Northeast and the rest of the horrid tribe companies around the country have no regard whats so ever. All the privatized companies should all be re regulated back the way they were. Just because of my disgust of them profit making and not putting the customer first. Very demoralizing!
They're too old to keep running. Besides all buses have to be accessible to all.
