IPSWICH IN THE NINTIES

One of the original route 66 buses DP75 latterly 46375 M375 YEX outside of what was originally the infamous Blue Coat Boy pub now used as a Fish and Chip Bar, the stop has long disappeared and used to host in the main Bickers country services.

The nineties was probably a good time to follow what began as a Independent Eastern Counties to latter on become a massive group owned First Group company, for some reason by this time i wasn't as interested in Buses as i should have been, as my career took precedence, during the first part of the nineties in came all All Leyland Olympians, National Greenways, Dennis Javelins, plenty of Mercedes Benz mini buses and Dennis Darts while the end was nigh for the Leyland Nationals and the Bristol VR's . From the time First  Group took over Low Floor Buses began to appear the first a batch of ten Scania 541-550 P541-50 RNG for another Super route the 88 while all manner of curio's came in and out Iveco Minibuses from Leicester, Olympians from Glasgow and London, Darts from Leeds and even 2 Leyland Lynx's which didn't last five mins, if anyone out has any memories from this time and would like to add there own please contact me.

One of the ex West Yorkshire by then Yorkshire Rider VR's WWY 122S which saw little action in Ipswich, to be fair they were over 20 years old by this point!
