ONCE a year there is an extensive vintage bus service to the lost village of Imber on Salisbury Plain, and this year passengers will be combining the bus with a vintage train – the Hastings DEMU.
The annual ‘Imberbus Day’ is on August 17 and UK Railtours has chartered the Hastings unit No. 1001, which will start its journey at Tonbridge (07.30), calling at East Croydon, London Waterloo (reverse), Woking and Basingstoke running via Salisbury to Warminster.
Here passengers will transfer to a fleet of around 25 Routemasters and other vintage buses for the journey to Imber.
