Excellent photographic subjects. Some of these photos must be quite old, from the '60's and '70's. Sad to see so many wonderful old buses going to the knacker's yard.
Its very sad how these buses have served the public all this time and have held so many memories but are just scrapped like this. So many people would pay so much money to buy these buses and restore them
Absolute rubbish. Bus enthusiasts had the chance to buy them out of service. But they didn't. There's far too many preserved vehicles and not enough interest. If you don't like the scrapping, why don't YOU go and buy up all the old busses if you think they are so valuable. Try and make your restored busses pay their way. You will not be able to. I say scrap and recycle old junk for the benefit of the community!
+BusGuy No, you also said that "so many people would pay so much money..." This is the statement I am challenging. There isn't the interest to make these things pay. That's why people don't pay money - it's a bottomless pit to waste cash on.
heelfan1234 By "people" I was referring to bus enthusiasts/collectors. However, sadly, the number of buses outnumber the amount of bus enthusiasts and the number of people willing to pay the very small amount to buy them. Because of this fact, a lot of them are scrapped, hence why I said it's sad. I did not mean to cause any offence to any scrapping enthusiasts/communities and if I did, I apologise.
Such a shame to see some of british history to be rusting away as time goes by, what's mostly sad is that they served the country for years upon years and have now been reduced to a distant memory only getting more and more distant :(
Those old Dublin bus Atlantian are from 1988 they were originally blue and cream and were later painted in orange livery they carried the green livery from 1990 two of these survive in preservation they were later replaced with Volvo olympian buses
Great Britain Has Gone Through A Lot Of Years With Those Buses And Some Of Those I know which is the AEC.Which is supposed to go over to crystal palace.
Not the way scrapyards work these days. A colleague of mine reglaurly takes buses to the scrapyard in Barnsley. He commented when he came back once that by the time they had rolled up the straps they used to hold the bus on the trailer, the bodywork was a memory - just the chassis was left. Say 10 minutes from arrival.
Yes, it's a good idea to smash them to pieces as soon as possible to prevent bus enthusiasts trespassing all over the place and causing a heath and safety risk.
@Mike Lloyd He's just another young bus fan with no idea of economics. These foamers should pay for the restorations themselves instead of suggesting some mythical person with bottomless pockets should do it. Many bus restorations end up on the scrap heap anyway, when people start to realise the cash and the space required.
These have all been smashed and torn to small pieces and melted. But just write to any bus company and ask about disposals or look at scrapping tenders. Bid or pay the highest price and the scrap is yours. Much better condition than these are too but will be later model.
i wish they had a better life buses are inocent and they deserve THIS?🤬😱 no they dont if anbody restores buses around here plese go to scrapyards and take a whole bus home to restore if anybody is restoring or preserving a mercedes vario or a dennis dart please put on it somwhere 'carlt costley loved these dearly' i love all buses but those are my favroute rip 🥺😭
Excellent montage, sad to see them in this state, though it would be great to visit and document. Nice work
It's sad to me to see some of my favourite buses end up this way in a bus graveyard, after the many years of hard service.

So sad. If only these carriages could talk. Volumes of memories. RIP my beauties.
They will live on in the hearts of those who used them. Rip buses.
this very sad to see some of our classic busis left to die like this when they have served the public well. very up setting seeing this
I actually enjoy watching buses get ripped apart with claws and grabs. Recycling is an important and laudible business.
Great video

All I said was that it was sad. I didn't say I was wanting to start World War 3...
However I can see how you are fighting against my comment as part of your channel description is "I'm a steam locomotive scrapping enthusiast".

By the look of them, i would say most of these wrecks were involved in serious accidents or catching fire judging by the damage done to bodywork
GHA 339 is been fully restored to road running at Wythall Bus Museum
Rich Bolton do you mean GHA 337?
yes I do mate
Nice to see her back in action
Those old Dublin bus Atlantian are from 1988 they were originally blue and cream and were later painted in orange livery they carried the green livery from 1990 two of these survive in preservation they were later replaced with Volvo olympian buses
These look like normal buses in Margate.

Awesome and a bit sad. Do you know if that Bedford VAL still exists? I know someone who wants to restore one.

Video!👍✌

Sad to see some Gm standard Leyland atlanteans in their. Could of been saved
You don't know what they were like underneath even if they looked "o.k." from the outside
They should of deen restored and given to musums

Don't talk such utter bollocks!!
@@Stringbean421 What part of my post was bollocks exactly? It's an accurate observation of the economics of historic vehicle restoration.
Great recycling of scrap. Cut up those buses and melt them down!
I'll have ago at restoreing one how do I buy one

What a waste☹☹
