69006 BACK AT IPSWICH, HOW THE NEW E400 LOOKS AND FLASHBACK FRIDAY

As can be seen above, 69006 AU05 DMF finally arrived back in Ipswich bringing the end to the refurbishment, thanks to Joe Thorpe for this full sized picture and to Paulo Van Krieken who made me aware of it's arrival his pictures can be seen over on Steve W's site, this will see the end of 65588 which may see further service in Norwich prior to storage, hopefully in two weeks time i may be able to confirm it's being saved for preservation watch this space for further news.

Further to my blog on Wednesday taken from Flickr this photo is the brand new coach seated Enviro 400 demonstrator currently i believe on loan with Nottingham, as can be seen all poles have now been integrated within the body structure .

And as a comparison from a photo taken from Martin Jarvis this time we have the Arriva Wright Streetdeck and goodness me doesn't look it good with a properly marked Buggy space and wheelchair bay.

                                        FLASHBACK FRIDAY

Ah a classic Bristol RE picture again from Flickr sees Eastern Counties  RL 677 PPW 677F arriving back on a 215 in Ipswich in 1983 by this time this fine bus and it's delicious engine sounds were coming to the end of it's life i miss those halcyon days travelling around on VR's and RE's.
