| IB service 17 started today the 28/01 with unusually 2 single deckers, route started out originally with 2 Deckers but it recent weeks has been downgraded to two single deckers today's offering note the French and instead of the English and on 85 PJ53 OLE IB's East Lancs Myllenium Dart. |
Today saw the arrival of yet another service for the Broke Hall and Bixley area in the form of of an extension to service 17 from the original terminus at Ipswich Hospital to now terminating at Bixley Farm shops, this now gives the residents 6 buses an hour during the day, but nothing at night time apart from an bi hourly service 56 from First via Foxhall Road which during the day virtually carries very few passengers, being 40p more expensive than IB's service 4, we are now in the seventh month of the supposed bus war yet nobody seems to be caving in. Admirable during the recent bad weather was the service levels which fortunately created very few problems for the bus operators with most services continuing to run, although most country area routes ran via main road routes only. In other news last Tuesday saw two Volvo B7RLES being used on Firsts 66 route, see picture below as 4 Volvo B7TLS were off the road.
