66950 WX55 TZM a Volvo B7RLE/ Wrightbus Eclipse Urban seen here on Saturday at Ipswich OCM still with Norwich Network posters! photo copyright James Long.

As seen above 66950 arrived late on Thursday night and was soon put to work on the 64 to Aldeburgh, then Felixstowe's on Saturday and back on the 64 again today, which i did see but due to the sun in front of me was unable to capture on camera. Like other B7RLE'S it will receive the refurbishment procedure in due course. I can also exclusively reveal that the replacements for 69532/33 will be 66982/83 from Colchester.I hope to impart another exclusive on the return of a very special bus hopefully returning to Ipswich in the next blog  which you are probably smart enough to guess at right know, of which i will furnish some of the first photos very shortly. In Ipswich Buses news i can confirm the routing of the extended service 4 to Martlesham, the main part of the route from the Old Cattle Market to Bixley farm is the same as it is presently while from Bixley Farm it will continue down Foxhall Road on to the A12 to Martlesham, coming from Tower Ramparts it will continue along from Princes Street to the Railway Station.
