In
2009, 2010 and 2011, a group of bus industry professionals achieved a long standing
ambition to run a vintage bus service from Warminster to the abandoned
village of Imber. To
celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, on 4th June 2012 they will be doing it all again
with most journeys continuing across
the Plain to parts of Wiltshire rarely seen by public transport users
- namely New Zealand Farm Camp and Brazen Bottom !
Further
details of this event (including the timetable) are now available here
and
whet
your appetite, a
few photographs from the previous events are shown
below. More photographs and reports from both events can also be found on other
