| The second one to depart this week will be 66981 KX05 MHK As has been mentioned in previous blogs the First Ipswich bus refurbishment has begun in earnest with two Volvo B7RLE's leaving this week 69008 AU05 DMV and 66981 KX05 MHK with either Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown 60622 or 60626 R785/89 MKW arriving to act as paint spares, many thanks to Chris Speed for this exciting news.  Not a great photo due to the gloom,is 41 M41 EPV a Volvo Olympian/East lancs still earning it's keep seen today on the 500 Suffolk Show Ground Service with Leon Wells at the helm. In other news as mentioned in the last blog First have changed most of their timetables over the bank holiday weekend with the addition of several enhancements and timetable changes both in the Ipswich and Lowestoft area. As can seen above Ipswich Buses had to use all of their resources to cover the new 500 service to the Suffolk Showground at Trinity Park today i spotted about ten Double Deckers including Tridents 14,18-20,22 Spectras 51-53 and Olympians 41/42 the service was doing well early in the morning before subsiding by lunchtime, by all things considering IB have done an excellent job no doubt with the Adult fare at £2.00 return this has improved the congestion around Felixstowe Road no end. Seen below is 32493 AU53 HKL a Volvo B7TL/ALX 400 on the first day of service heading to the new extension of the route to Maidenhall Green, Halifax a touch confusing  |
