Ready for service
Imberbus 2018 a one day a year service through the village of Imber in Wiltshire, on one of the few days that the roads through the Army training area on Salisbury Plain are open to the public. Started in 2009 by a group of enthusiasts from within the bus operating business, the scale of operation has grown each year.
£12,100 fares revenue in 2018 will be split between the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal and St Giles church Imber.
Imber village and great swathes of the surrounding countryside were requisitioned by the MoD in 1943, to accommodate the build up to D-Day. The villagers were evicted. Most of the original village has long gone; a small housing estate was built for training purposes. St Giles church remains. Within it is a great deal of information about the history of the village, and it is open to the public on Imberbus day.
