Imberbus 2018

This is the second visit to the now famous 'Imberbus' event by the Independent Transport Videos cameras. Our first visit was in 2013 when seven buses were in service, now in 2018 a total of 24 buses were operated, mostly traditional Routemasters, (RM, RML & RMC), but five from the ‘New Routemaster' class which included the very first, LT1 (LTZ 1001) and last, LT1000 (LTZ 1000). The one and only ‘short' ‘New Routemaster' ST812 (LTZ 1812) was also on hand to help move the crowds. As well as the old and new Routemasters, Metropolitan MD60 (KJD 260P) was in service as well as locally based First West of England 69502 (BJ10 VGC) a Wrightbus Volvo B7RLE in the striking ‘Discover' livery. Imberbus was formed in early 2009 when a group of industry professionals met up to discuss the possibility of running a one day service over normally closed military roads to the ‘lost' village of Imber on Salisbury Plain, which had last seen a bus service in 1943. Thus, Imberbus was born in September 2009.
