ABANDONED Bus Graveyard With Hidden Rare Cars - Abandoned Places | Abandoned Places UK

[@robinm1211]

I live near a little privately owned bus and lorry mechanics shop. Have some neat old parts buses coming through as well. Its always a good feeling when worse, run down examples of old vehicles are used as donors to keep other, better examples on the road for longer, and potentially set them up for permanent preservation. Great stuff.

[@BeardedReality]

Glad you enjoyed the video and I agree its nice to see not all is wasted

[@sahhami8208]

Another nice explore thsnks for sharing with us all

[@BeardedReality]

Glad you enjoyed crazy place right and those cars hidden away

[@johnUB4478]

Nice to see the Westlink Metrorider still about. Definitely a rare bus these days

[@BeardedReality]

Was told quite a few rare hidden gems here

[@leeallen1407]

Hearns of devon coach is a MAN chassis with Noge Catalan body, The racing coach is a 1982 Bedford on a Duple Dominant 3 body, The small london bus is a MCW Metroliner new to Travel West Midlands..The snmall bus you entered the rear door from is the same make, The buses you thought were airport buses are infact council operated and are Optare Aleros, the small green coach is a 1963 Bedford with duple bella vega body. The red and white coach you went on is a 1984 Bedford with Plaxton Paramount body ....i can name every coach and bus in that graveyard. The white coach inside is the only one ever built. It's a seddon Pennine with Willowbrook body and i believe is Nigels baby...he won't sell it

[@BeardedReality]

Ohhh thanks Lee for all the info love learning about things I have seen and places I have been. So the white coach is the only one ever to be built? That's crazy

[@highpath4776]

I like the Seddon Pennines, they do have character in any form

[@adr167]

This is awsome❤ thank you a bunch!

[@BeardedReality]

Glad you like it! :)

[@leeallen1407]

Glad you spoke to Nigel first...he is a decent bloke and will let anyone look round if asked....It's if people don't ask he get's arsy as he has had things pinched

[@BeardedReality]

Yeah he was an awesome dude explained about some idiots that had been which we both agreed is not on. Glad he didn't mind me being on the site as was amazing to film and take pictures of all the things that were there

[@highpath4776]

Pat Heard of North Devon was a good operator. The MCW (Metrorider ?) not many of them left, worth restoring. Silcox of Pembroke Dock

[@BeardedReality]

Heard there are some rare coaches here as well :)

[@ChrisOREILLY-gc4yq]

Sounds like someone is from the West Midland I am originally from Castle Vale B35 bought up there in the 80s and 90s... New I live in Chester UK i5 from Chester UK 🇬🇧👍

[@ferrochinabisleri1587]

[@neosstuff]

[@BeardedReality]

Aha imagine them all going at the same time ⏲️

[@johnUB4478]

The greyhound one i believe is a Duple Dominant

[@BeardedReality]

I am not madsive into my knowledge in vehicles so thanks for the info

[@interrygator7250]

I live near here, my mum used to work in the cafe where the green and red striped bus and white one was parked up where you walked behind when she was a teenager, the A reg one you got on used to take us on school trips when I was in primary school 😂. Browns of builth was a legendary company in it's time, it's just a shame that it's gone now, had some brilliant drivers and a couple of really grumpy ones that weirdly hated us school kids despite the local schools being their biggest customers

[@BeardedReality]

Aha thank you for all the extra information glad you enjoyed the video

[@randomthingsstuff6591]

Is so sad that cool rare cars are abandoned 😭

[@BeardedReality]

Agreed its a shame hidden away and forgotten

As a coach driver who drives a volvo b10m it breaks my heart to see 2 left to rot away 😢

[@BeardedReality]

Yeah its crazy seeing all these coaches here and cars

[@alainguilon6218]

Ce n,est que de la carrosserie pièce à récupérer peut etre sorry

[@highpath4776]

There is not a lot you can do with them, unfortunatley. Rather big to keep at home. Sold one for a playbus project about 20 years ago.

[@mikeapmusic940]

Always known in the area as Prynne’s when it was open as a garage. Used to go there a lot with my Dad when I was a kid. The cafe there was nice and the chap who used to play Alan Turner in Emmerdale always used to pop by on his motorbike. Browns buses used to take me to school :)

[@BeardedReality]

Ohhh thanks for sharing with us :)

[@jasonhillier564]

The London transport bus, ex West link, ran from the old Kingston bus garage Kingston upon Thames Surrey

[@BeardedReality]

Ohh interesting thanks for letting us all know :)

[@finleyplympton]

The company was Browns Of Builth , closed in 2021 I believe - Premises was known as "Builth Services" In the 70s/80s I think

[@BeardedReality]

Ohhh thanks for the extra info

[@wimalasenawijethunga1668]

Good video thanks you

[@BeardedReality]

Glad you enjoyed the video

[@davehanson7764]

The Saab might be worth quite a few smackers as they ceased production some years ago

[@BeardedReality]

I know you hardly see Saab's knocking about anymore I remember when they were all the rage at one point

[@trevorford9432]

That Man would make a lovely motorhome 😊.

[@BeardedReality]

Aha a few of these could make some motor homes however lots far to gone

[@michelleongoro5495]

Nice buses

[@BeardedReality]

Aha I know mad place this

[@treblesix]

Think there were 2 Silcox (Pembrokeshre) coaches there. They always brought the kids to school and did day trips.

[@BeardedReality]

Ahh interesting thanks for the info

[@johnfrancis8901]

The coach that you boys came across with the red and green stripe used to work for jeffs coaches at helmdon in bracket Northamptonshire and their office was in banbury oxfordshire until they went bankrupt but some of jeffs coaches went to work for various companies such as worths coaches and various other local companies from John and Nora here in kidlington in oxfordshire

[@BeardedReality]

Ohh thanks for the extra info john

[@bobbydavenport8941]

I can't really pick a favorite bus because I love all busses all sizes

[@BeardedReality]

Aha some amazing vehicles here

[@danbi2000]

the hyundai peugeot and saab need to be saved poor things before they get worse (imstokze has been here before)

[@BeardedReality]

Aha hey stokze and I have seen so many amazing cars left over the years mad right

[@johnmcmanus2598]

I used to drive buses for London united and the little hopper k1 bus used to come out of tolworth near Kingston upon Thames ( not sure if it still does)

[@BeardedReality]

aha apparently there is quite a few rare buses and coaches here mad how things end up

[@highpath4776]

Tolworth (TV) still exists, as does the K1 , but dont know if both are associated.

[@TransportBaz]

I want that Westlink MetroRider!!!!

[@BeardedReality]

Aha loads of very rare coaches here apparently

[@TransportBaz]

@@BeardedReality Anything Volvo pre-computer - B10M, B58 - regardless of the body, and I'd be after it. Even better if it has push-button start instead of key ignition....

[@supergranfadiytvlange618]

What's the reason beyond that they abondoned plenty of vehicles? Watching you from Philippines..

[@BeardedReality]

Many reasons why places are abandoned however with the buses and coaches here they are now left basically to rust and die with parts used to repair other buses and coaches where they can

[@supergranfadiytvlange618]

@@BeardedReality oh yes... thanks for your kind reply Sir...

[@andrewharvey6400]

youre pronounciation of place name makes me smile. Its Bilth for Builth and bid-a fud for Bideford.

[@islasandjessicas]

Hi Daniel, Jess here, these with the exception of the little ex London Optare buses and the minibus, are all Coaches, not Buses. And that what you referred to as carpet, is known as Moquet.

[@BeardedReality]

Aha hey Jess thanks for the extra info appreciate it and lol I see buses and coaches as the same thing really lol not a massive vehicle knowledge kinda beard always learning though :)

[@harrybfditrainanddwtdlover]

if u had to pick out of those cars and busses which one or ones would start

[@BeardedReality]

Hmm not sure alot of then would probably the porshe and the cars at the front tbh

[@alainguilon6218]

Heuuuu hyundai car and Mercedes 🚌 🚍 bus 🚌 ok 👌

[@highpath4776]

The Welsh operator small buses really need restoring by the wales based bus preservation groups. A clean, sort out the seats, electrics and the basic servicing and there is hope to get them running.

[@BeardedReality]

I think the smaller ones for sure would be easier to sort and do out - idea bigger ones converted into housing maybe static some people have been doing that lately

[@pauld3638]

seen this before by the bearded explorer

[@BeardedReality]

[@Sabin-Sinister]

I wish I could hear the startup of these amazing buses. But is that really abandoned? Someone must taking care of that place otherwise it would be vandalised, I’m just saying

[@BeardedReality]

Aha yeah would be great to hear these running. They are privately owned by the gent next door but not been In service for some time. This is a place where these mechanical beasts go to die and parts that are salvageable are used to repair other coaches and buses
