In a surprise manner the three Enviro 200's of four due arrived at Ipswich from Clacton late on Friday these were 44517-19 YXO9  ACY/ACZ/ADO leaving just 44516 YX09 ACV to arrive after repairs, one will depart this week for refurbishment, while departing the other way was 65690-92 YS03 ZKK-M Scania L94UB/Wrightbus Solars with one of either 69532/33 PLO5 UBR/S Volvo B7RLE'S going during the week. I can also reveal that all of the remaining Scanias will be removed by September probably for scrap. 32061 W221 XBD as pictured in the last blog is leaving to return to Great Yarmouth in return for 30888 W743 DWX for use on the 66 to Martlesham.
In yet another exclusive i can reveal that the Ipswich depot will be heightened during November allowing the possibility of full height Double Deckers. 

Scania Optare Olympus 69 YJ60 KGY unusually appeared on the 5 on Thursday before going back onto 9's during the afternoon.

Ipswich Buses have now put up their timetables for the July 7th changes, Service as previously mentioned now extends to Martlesham but now misses out Tower Ramparts on the outward journey which i can see as deeply flawed, not only that who will additionally use this service is beyond me when First already run the 66 at every 15 mins rather than IB's 30 mins. The 19A will be axed with the 19 also cut back to serve Dales Hall road and not Castle Hill, the 14/A to Gippeswyk Park will now be revised into just the 14 with a new route. Service 33 is a new Sunday only service from Ipswich to Felixstowe running every hour.
