FIRST GAIN TWO CONTRACTED SERVICES

One of the usual buses used on the 39 Rushmere service is Beestons Optare Solo KX54 NLC seen back in 2013 when they first took on the service.

News has reached me that First Ipswich have gained both the 30 Ipswich to Woodbridge  and the 39 Ipswich to Rushmere these are both currently operated by Beeston's, in response they have put up for sale 3 of their ex Nottingham Solo's.Meanwhile  Ipswich Buses have put ex Lothian Dart 137 SN53 AVP into service on the 8/13 today. Seen below is one of the 3 Optare Solo's for sale by Beeston's FP02 XMB seen back in November 2013.
