No doubt my friend Steve W has a tale or two about driving these two, above we see the about to be preserved Ipswich Atlantean 85 WPV 85L now i think i know who is going to be preserving this but i will not reveal it until i have it fully confirmed, the story goes that back in 1988 that largely the batch of 83-88 and 94/98 were no longer needed by Ipswich Buses, hence the loan out of these and some of 1-5 and 7 among others were also loaned out of a period lasting 3 years, 85 returned to service along with others during 1989 before going back on loan to Boroline Maidstone, below is sister 84 WPV 84L ironically showing an Ipswich blind, if anyone has knowledge of the later sister buses in London i would love to know. The routes involved at the time i believe were the 188 and the 482.
