Seen Here earlier in the Summer is East Lancs Dart 86 PJ53 OLG

 Ipswich Buses has announced that they are to extend routes 5 and 11 in the Evenings and on Sundays from Ipswich Hospital to Broke Hall Estate, this is as MD Malcolm Robson has described as a slack period for the 5/11, buses will operate as follows service 5 in Via Foxhall Road, Bixley Road, Penshurst Road and out via Arundel Way and Foxhall Road to the Hospital, service 11 from Hospital via Foxhall Rd, Arundel Way and out via Penshurst Road and Bixley Road to Foxhall Road, this brings back an proper evening service to Broke Hall. Service 4 from Martlesham to Ipswich Railway Station is also being examined this week in regards to the section between Tower Ramparts and the Railway Station to see whether there is sufficient demand to keep that section of the route, there is also frequent timing issues that i am aware of as the buses run late at peak hours.

Above is one of the 5 Scania/Wright Solars soon to depart from Ipswich is 65674 SN51 UYH, which no one will miss!

Buses in from Refurb this week will be 69010 and 69425, the first of the ex Park and Ride B7RLES to be completed while departing this week has been 69423/24.
