Today saw Ipswich Buses make heavy changes to the Town network, including the linking of service 6 through to the 11, the abandonment of the 5 replaced by the X5 and other amendments to timetables and route 4 no longer serving the Railway Station during off peak hours. From my own experience today i experienced route 6 and the loading was particularly poor 4 OAP's and 3 fare payers, not only that but from Bixley Road/Ashdown Way it follows the exact same route as the 4A Sunday service leaving Bixley Road at 15 mins past each hour, followed by the 4A at 19 mins past the hour albeit every 2 hours, surely some coordination is needed by bus companies so we don't have this duplication of routes. Before i go don't forget the Ipswich Transport Museum's OMO day, i shall be there along with Joe Thorpe from First who will be bringing Volvo B7RLE 69426.Timetable link here http://www.ipswichtransportmuseum.co.uk/pressrel/140515_2.pdf
