44517 ENTERS SERVICE

Just  a quick report tonight reporting the entry into service of  Enviro 200 44517 YX09 ACY which has entered on the 53 today seen here in Belmont Road many thanks again to James Long for the excellent photo, which is his copyright, meanwhile sister 44518 still remains in the depot a week or more after arrival. Also worth reporting was an article in the Evening Star on Tuesday about the abandonment of a section of the IB route 19 which now only serves Dales Road and not Castle Hill, IB withdrew the section due to an average of around 5 persons per trip, the local people who live in the care home now have to walk an extra 500 yards, the cost of taking one bus of the route costs £54,000.

Something from my ever increasing archive tonight for a change here we have LM 645 KNG 645D a Eastern Counties Bristol MW heading out of Ipswich on route 207 to Colchester approaching Ipswich Railway Station.
