Report - Howard Snaith Coaches\Bus Graveyard Otterburn Northumberland April 2021

[MarkusCP87]

This part of the site is essentially the scarpyard part of the site, still an active company but after seeing all the derelict buses on the way past on my way to Scotland, I had to have a peek.
I have a thing for old rusty buses, trains , vehicles.
There was around 20 coaches derelict, mostly all accessible.
I was even greeted by a cat who was looking at me while I snooped about the old coach.

Surprisingly I missed this place before, considering I had been to Otterburn to explore a hotel and house.

Howard Snaith is an established coach operator based in the small village of Otterburn in rural Northumberland.
Our distinctive white coaches with blue and pink livery are instantly recognisable as we transport our passengers across the United Kingdom and Europe.
After beginning as a one man operation, Howard purchased multiple second hand coaches, and with local operator R & M closed down, Snaith’s were in a position to take on the work.
The first full sized coach purchased new was in March 1998. This coach was a Volvo B10M.
Now, after 30 years of experience of school work and private hires, Howard Snaith has moved into the corporate sector with the addition of two VIP standard coaches.

Vehicle graveyards always great to shoot. I do like a climb around an old bus, train etc

I never tire of them, I agree, its always fun to climb in them, some of the coaches still had that warm stuffy smell.
