Scrapyard Buses
DMS 1249 at Wombwell Diesels on 25 May 1979. There are two things I particularly remember from that visit. One being the shock of seeing such young buses being broken apart - this one was just seven years old and was among the first few to reach the scrapyard though this would quickly increase into a steady flow. And the other thing was being told by one of the workers how easy it was to destroy a DMS and that within a few hours there would be nothing recognisable left and that the metal reclaim and yield was poor in comparison to other types. Wonder what Health and Safety people would say about working practices.....
