I had promised to upload a shot of WCS195 which was for me the pick of the Strachans bodied AEC Regent Vs. It was the only example to lose it's maroon tween decks band and receive the elevated fleetname as shown here, although it retained it's smart maroon mudguards. Buses of the owner Hill were characterised by a silver star on the front grille.
I only came across this site after watching a Youtube episode of Auto Shenanigans, but never got around to visiting the site, this was finally done in July last year.
Markfield Services is situated just off Junction 22 of the M1, this opened up as a Granada service station back in 1989.
Out of the three services that were available here, only the Travelodge operates in the present day, the main service building that held all the food/toilet facilities mysteriously closed without warning back in 2014 The petrol station did continue to keep going for another six years before closing for good in 2020.
Looking at the canopy underside, it is clear that this had been a Mobil filling station when it opened, this would have rebranded to BP once they acquired Mobil's assets in the late 1990's.
The abandoned petrol station is currently surrounded by builders fencing, as is the old services building which is starting to disappear to the the vegetation which is growing all around it.
The former children's play area has also become overgrown with only the top of a slide visible from the access road into the former services.
I did speak to the on site security guard, who at first didn't seem happy with me wandering around, despite fencing preventing me from going anywhere I shouldn't go but he did let me carry on wandering around getting my photos.
There are quite a few people who have taken videos at this site, all of which can be seen on Youtube, I'll add a couple in the comments below starting with Jon's episode of Auto Shenanigans.

This was the image prepared in first of the livery of Weardale Motor Services of Stanhope, County Durham - an operator with an exceptionally high standard of turnout. Fortunately it's still with us and, it would seem, doing very well with an expanding fleet in a predominantly white livery. Here we turn the clock back to the company's traditional livery.
I first came across Weardale on a regular basis in the early 1980s, when it was building up an impressive fleet of second-hand, traditional double-deckers for school contracts. Rumour was that it wanted a Routemaster, but this was probably wishful thinking by enthusiasts and it simply didn't happen. The company had hoped to have YUP 6, its preserved Leyland PD2, fully restored for its 85th birthday in 2007. When it became clear that it wouldn't make it in time, I decided to turn out a Routemaster in this commemorative livery. I think that it looks rather good.

Some people would close if they don't see any clients, others know the clients will come if you keep open all night long.
Christian churches are few and far between in Mauritania in a country that is almost one hundred per cent Muslim.
Here, three of the congregation leave their tiny Catholic church after Sunday morning service in Nouadhibou.
(Tech. note - Even allowing for the post processing, the fact that the modern digital camera was able record detail in the subjects' dark faces AND the white clothing, all under the harsh African sun just astounds me.)

A water service truck found in the ghost town near Jerome, Arizona which is privately owned. The ghost town has hauled in dozens of old trucks, machinery and buildings to populate the tourist attraction which costs $12.00 to visit. The lettering on the side of the truck says it is a donation by the Warfield Family. Don't know whether this truck really does supply water. Luckily we did not need to drink any water during our visit!
Happy Truck Thursday!
