Over the years, numerous reports and photographs about our events have been published on the internet and so we have provided links to some of the more interesting ones below. However as some of them are now quite old, we apologise if any of the links no longer lead anywhere useful.
Imberbus 2021 – First public Car Free Day at Imber !
Following the traffic problems of 2019, only the Imberbuses were allowed to access Imber on 21st August 2021, making the whole day much more enjoyable. 20 buses took part this year but loadings were lower than in previous years due to poor weather and Coronavirus concerns.

Imberbus 2019 – Gridlock !
This was our busiest Imberbus yet with 28 buses in use and approximately 4000 passengers carried, including 200 who arrived by charter train. However increased press coverage also resulted in many people driving up to Imber rather than using the buses, which proved challenging due to the lack of car parking available.

There is also a short documentary here showing the work that goes into setting up the infrastructure for Imberbus on the previous day.
