MORE RARE VISITORS TO IPSWICH AND MORE ON 20 YEARS AGO

Not quite a rare visitor as something you don't see everyday especially in the Tower Ramparts Bus Station, and in actual fact this is the only time I have ever photographed in all the time I have been on the blog is ex Metroline Dennis Trident/Plaxton President 22 LR02 BBJ seen here yesterday in the lay by near the Cricketers pub yesterday.

Also seen yesterday was Suffolk Norse Marcopolo PN57 CUA on a Swimming contract, in my day it was a rusty old Bedford!

While Soames Volvo B10M?/Plaxton T4 GET was also on a swimming contract.

20 YEARS AGO UPDATE
Further to the post i put up on Sunday with thanks to regular contributor James Long for the information, Bristol VR'S 179/80 were actually classified as VL as they both had Leyland 501 engines which made them go like rockets, Mercedes Benz 50/58 were L609D, while of course Leyland National 602/13/16 were Mark 2 variety's.
Lastly may I apologise for using a picture of Bryan Dickson's on Sunday without his permission, this has been corrected on editing the blog, all photo's came off a CD of images bought 10 years ago with full copyright permission, as I have stated before all recent pictures taken from Flickr have been fully credited, where possible the photos I use are my own and in most cases they tend to be. And finally the old School bus I was talking about GSX 112N a Bedford YRT in it's short career with Lothian.
