CHANGES PART ONE

Welcome to my new blog which will unravel hopefully all the facts and news in the Ipswich and Suffolk area, currently the main talking point is the imminent bus war between IB and First, a whole raft of new routes and changes are due on 29th July. The big news is the withdrawal of route 62 to Bixley replaced by the 55/56 which will go via Foxhall Road and compete with IB service 5 which sees an additional non stop X5, IB have also added a new 6a to Gainsborough. IB's  service 1/3 will now compete with Firsts X/70 over the same route to Ravenswood, First have also upped the frequency of the 61 to every 10 mins. Meanwhile the 75/77 to Felixstowe will now operate via Felixstowe Road to Kingsway then Nacton Road to Sainsburys Warren Heath then via current route to Felixstowe and the 88 from Stowmarket will now operate to Ipswich Hospital in its place via Woodbridge Road, and the 87 will now operate as a town service from Stowamarket Town Centre out to Stowupland. More to come soon.
