From time to time, due to my musical knowledge i like to put in a connection to my blog titles this time it's the title of an number eighteen hit from 1981 from the Psychedelic Furs, well if one can call it pretty anyway IB Solo 245 has been repainted into this scheme which will connect the Waterfront on Saturdays to the Town Centre personally i can't see the logic of this, but there you go, it will also continue to operate the current 38 Town centre shuttle,in other IB news Scania/East Lancs 60 has been repainted into normal fleet livery and will no doubt will be out and about by the end of the week. Both IB and First are also to be congratulated on an 93% customer satisfaction rating which was achieved during the bus station closures last year, this was a recent survey from the official passenger watchdog and rank them both just 1% behind Reading Buses.

IB Spectra 51 X51 LBJ has received a electronic display seen here on the 7 to Thorington Park last Thursday.
