IB AND FIRST ROUTE AND TIMETABLE CHANGES

IB Trident 20 Y436 NHK seen outside Tower Ramparts Shopping Centre whilst using the X3 stop during the Falcon Street closure which reopens on the 6th May.

The main news which i didn't quite cover last time is the abandonment of First route 63 to Framlingham, which apart from schoolday services leaves Framlingham with no service and unless some other operator will step in, the 64 as mentioned in the last blog will be separated at Saxmundham  with the 64A covering the section to Aldeburgh, the current 64A will become the 64B, while the 65 to Rendlesham will be extended to Aldeburgh via Snape, one other loser will be Wickham Market which will see a significant cuts in it's current times. IB changes are that route 8/8B will be simplified into one route with revision to the current directions and a revised timetable, it will also no longer serve the Railway Station. One other route to be lost is Beeston's 103 Stanton to Ipswich from the 4th May. As Mentioned on the caption is the reopening of Falcon Street in Ipswich on the 6th May meaning all local bus routes will go back to using the circuit round the Town Centre, and incoming country routes with the closure of the Old Cattle Market on the same day will now terminate in either Upper Brook Street or Great Colman street more on this in the next blog.
