IPSWICH BUSES THE NEXT LIVES

Interesting article in Classic Bus magazine with a piece on Ipswich Buses Dennis Falcons prompted me to go looking for photographs off Flickr of Ipswich Buses in their new lives, first up we see ex Ipswich Atlantean 28 SDX 28R with Road Car in Lincoln, sold by Ipswich in 1996 these strangely replaced younger Bristol VR's.

Next up the rather square looking Northern Counties Dennis Falcon which Ipswich kept for only 10 years before being mainly bought by First for use at Leicester and Northampton here we see ex Ipswich 107 C107 SDX  with an ex Ipswich Volvo B6 lurking behind. Some escaped by being bought by First, seen below is sister C110 SDX seen here in 2002 with Choice travel in Birmingham during 2002.

One from Stuart Ray's fine collection is one of the fine ex Ipswich ECW Atlanteans LDX 73G seen here with it's new owner Eastbourne during 1982.

Finishing today's feature we see two ex Ipswich Dennis Falcons 103/105 now registered KAZ 3254/53 with Eagre which by the looking of things brand new front ends, latterly Eagre were taking over by Road Car serving out of Gainsborough depot.
