BUS SUBSIDIES CUTS
A piece tucked away in the Ipswich Star caught my eye on Friday, according to the Labour Party in the last four years the amount spent on uneconomic routes have dropped by 50% in Suffolk with only Northamptonshire ahead with 55%. On average services across Britain are down by 23%, Labours Suffolk Transport spokesman Sandra Gage said that the Conservatives have continued to cut funding rather than subsidise rural routes leading to more communities being cut off.
FIRST IPSWICH UPDATE
Further to my chat with Chris Speed last month, he has updated me further that the four heritage liveries will be based on the current fleet with Ipswich possibly having a bus in classic Tilling red and cream, further newer single deckers are being considered for both Norwich and Ipswich a quantity of around 30 are available within First Group approx 4 years old however this is subject to change. A more recent interview that he did with Sam Larke of Norwich Buses blog is available here http://www.norwichbusesblog.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/norwichbuses-blog-exclusive-chat-with.html
