You thinking of converting one Ally, friend of ours has one converted which is a great job apart from the fuel consumption.

Gosh, takes me back a bit seeing the buses at the breakers on Castlewellan hill. The site is now a housing development and also a plumbcenter beside it.

Dont think they are operating there any more.

Okay, heres what I think!

Sited accomodation on the cl, by using a bus/train type vehicle you dont need palnning permission as its "in theory" moveable.

What time can I call and collect my chocolate bar?

The plan is...

The old lounge in the pub is going to become an apartment, so rather than waste/sell all the old bar and fittings i want to convert it into a bus/coach, leave it parked at the CL, then it will become a club house for Motorhomers to meet in and socialise in the colder nights.

Has been up dated in 2013 so inventory may all still be for sale. There was a Leyland Leopard / Plaxton Supreme IV for 1450 advertised in August. If the regestration is listed for the vehicles advertised google the reg and a bus spotter will have uploaded photos.
I drove from Omagh to Claudy through Gortin and Plumbridge and then on to Drumahoe, somewhere along the route on the righthand side there was a doubledecker outside a building which was being used as either a playgroup or childrens adventure centre. Maybe someone may recollect seeing this bus and perhaps the current owner may be able to point you in the right direction.
