Service Changes - Ipswich and surrounding areas
Sunday 30 August 2015
From 30th August we will be making some changes to the network of services we provide in Ipswich and the surrounding areas. All services mentioned have had timetable changes to improve punctuality.
Services that are not mentioned will not change.
Below is a summary of the changes to each of these routes.
Service 59 (Town Centre to Rushmere) New
This is a new service to Rushmere via Belvedere Road. It replaces the current service 39 operated by Beestons and will be operated with a refurbished Enviro 200 to match the current Ipswich livery. There are no changes to either the route or timetable from the current version Beestons operate.
Services 63,64,65 and 65B (Ipswich to Aldeburgh)
This corridor will see a number of changes to both route and timetable. Certain journeys will still start or finish at Ipswich Rail Station and most peak time journeys into and from Ipswich remain.
These services will combine to maintain the existing 30 minute frequency between Ipswich, Woodbridge and Melton, Aldeburgh and Leiston will have an hourly frequency.
Service 63 is a new route that will operate between Ipswich Town Centre and Melton via Martlesham Tesco and Woodbridge. It will also serve both estates in Woodbridge. Certain journeys will operate via either Fentons Way or Cambridge Road to replace the withdrawn service 68.
Service 64 will operate its current route from Ipswich Town Centre to Saxmundham but will extend to Leiston. The service will not operate via Fentons Way as this is replaced by the new 63 service. Most peak journeys remain, but owing to low usage, the off peak frequency is reduced from hourly to 2 hourly. This reduction will also affect Farnham, Wickham Market and Ufford, although the Suffolk County Council sponsored 62 and 196 services will provide additional journey options. For details on these services please see their website www.suffolkonboard.com or telephone 0345 606 6171.
Service 65 will operate between Ipswich Town Centre and Snape along its current route with the exception of serving Martlesham Black Tiles instead of Martlesham Tesco.

This reduction will affect Snape, Tunstall, Rendlesham and Eyke.
