A HAUNTING graveyard of rotting vintage public transport vehicles has been captured in the British countryside.

Images show rusting lined up, including nostalgic 90s buses and a long-forgotten wagon, in various states of disrepair.

Some have been completely gutted by fire while others remain eerily intact with faded signage hinting at their past lives spent ferrying passengers.

Among the rows of decaying buses are a First Bus B6, an old Bus and a Volvo Olympian/Alexander .

Abandoned lorries left to the elements have also been snapped.

The exposed location has allowed the elements to take their toll with years of wind, rain, and vandalism accelerating the decay.

The derelict site located in Platt Bridge, Wigan, was once operated by Blackeleys but has now become an eyesore.

It is strewn with approximately 15 disused buses, lorries, and a long-forgotten Royal Mail wagon.

The pictures were captured by urban explorer Kyle Urbex.

He said: “After arriving at the site, it was clear these buses had not been given any care or attention in quite a while.

“Some of the site was struck by fire damage with a few of the buses completely burnt to a crisp.

“The site is becoming a true eyesore. It's a shame the site has ended up in such a sorry state.

“Somebody who appreciates buses may have been able to reuse them at one point.”

Despite its desolate condition, the site remains unsecured allowing access to curious urban explorers and, at times, unwelcome guests.

The future of the site remains uncertain, but with little action taken to preserve these relics of many are likely to be sold for scrap.
