Scrapyard Buses
Following the first mass withdrawals of RM`s in September 1982, North`s of Sherburn- in- Elmet east of Leeds took the first batch of RM`s for scrapping following initial parts reclaim. This was the sight that I found on 4 November 1982. It was so very different to RM`s being dumped at Aldenham for scrapping - that seemed fairly normal. But here in Yorkshire so far from London the reality of the policy to scrap RM`s as fully intact buses really hit home. Almost all of them were driven here and were so complete that only a set of blinds were needed to make most ready for service.
