Podcast 5: Happy Ever After?

Catch up with Episode 5 of The Bus Inspectors Podcast which dropped on Wednesday 18 June. Listen now: TheBusInspectors.com/podcast


The Bus Inspectors find out what happens to historic buses and coaches when they leave preservation and why there's no guarantee of a happy future.


Here's the trailer showing what you have in store...



We meet James, who made the difficult decision to sell a bus he had restored, and Louis, the current owner who loves the bus for what it has now become - a community cafe dedicated to the memory of his son.


James Freeman from Friends of King Alfred Buses describes the tragic fire of 2023 which claimed seven preserved buses... and the Friends' incredible project to rebuild one partial survivor, their 1950 Leyland Olympic.


Plus, the 'ones that got away' - the buses and coaches we wish had made it to preservation.
