Well i am thinking the Commercial Break section needs a similar thread to the

one in Classic cars for the old trucks n stuff you might spot left to die in the

corners of yards and in fields etc.

I did check all 12 pages to make sure there wasn't already one going.





These 2 coaches have probably been seen by many here as they are in a field by the sliproad

for the northbound A23 at Burgess Hill.
Is that if you're going on to the A23 via Hickstead?

Basically it's nearly opposite the grub wagon parked up near the north end of the slip.

There is a layby on the nearside too so maybe the view has always been blocked by a HGV

parked.

I stopped there on Saturday in my car and place was deserted.

I can't remember a food wagon by there or a layby. The sliproad I mean is a two way road for a while going north via the Hickstead exit. There's a pub on the left just as you go on the sliproad. Is that the sliproad you're talking about?

Cheers for that link. I think the reason that I've never noticed them, is because there's only a small opening, and I don't usaully look at small gaps into fields.
