Chiltern Queens Bus Depot Woodcote

Not so far from me is an old bus depot which closed down a few years ago, around 2006 I believe.

Not a huge amount of info on this place, just lots of pictures of Buses from people who like buses...

However here are some pics of buses at the depot from back in the day!



a Derelict bus












And the buses I always used to remember seeing there as a young'n



Anyway... How it looks now:

Hope you like!

Hehe, nice site, looks a bit trashed, but like those pumps.

Nice place Shame there isnt a old bus just lying about lol

I am shocked to see a almost 'public' diesel pump, usually haulage & passenger transport use combi/key pumps.

Ahhh !! Good ol' Chiltern Queen buses !! Remember seeing these outside Didcot stn when i first moved down here in the early 90's--they were by far the smartest looking buses/coaches to be seen. !! Shame that they've gone they obviously had quite a history !!

I remember them and Wondered what happened to them I thought they had been taken over.

thanks for sharing nice pics . my friend is restoring a AEC Burlington seagull coach that was run by chitern queens nice to see where it came from

Cheers for the kind words guys.

Muppet, would love to see your mates old bus, any pics?

not too far from me shame it's a wreck

Ahh, that's what this was/is. I took a wander round a couple of months ago but didn't bother with any shots.
What originally interested me was that it could be an original building from RAF Woodcote, but I wasn't too sure by the time I left.

Nice bit of history there.

Missed this first time round, love the old bus pics, particulary the first one which looks like a big brother of the old Fiat Multipla 600

Looks like those fuel pumps still have power, the dislpays are still lite up?
