Route 89 Master
71A Group's D6515 'Lt Jenny Lewis RN' (33012) gets away from Warminster working 1Z84, the return leg of UK Railtour's 'By Routemaster to the Lost Village of Imber' tour. Sandwiched between the crompton and 73107 'Tracey' is a 4TC unit.
Originating at Waterloo as 1Z82, the excursion ran to Warminster from where customers were able to take advantage of a trip to the village of Imber, a few miles away on the south western border of Salisbury Plain aboard an AEC Routemaster, the archetypal London double-decker bus.
The village of Imber is uninhabited having been taken over in late 1943 by the Ministry of Defence for training of troops for the invasion of Europe. In the intervening years several attempts by former residents to return have been rebuffed by the MOD but on certain days in the year public access is granted.
