FIRST IPSWICH DEPOT WIN AN AWARD

Congratulations to First Ipswich depot who picked up an award on Thursday in the UK BUS Excellence awards as Highly commended depot of the year, well done to everyone at Ipswich who has made a concerted effort to turn around the depot from admittedly one of the worst three years back to one of the best in the country. In fleet news Cameron on Yarmouth Bus Page revealed that the two Enviro 200 destined for Ipswich are 45119 RT09 JPT seen below copyright Stuart Ray and 44928 EU08 FHB, both were originally at Lowestoft before moving to Norwich earlier this year currently both are destined for Rotherham next week, while the following week Volvo B7RLE 66982 and later one other will move to Norwich this is due to a fall in PVR on the 64/65 routes at the end of August.

While i enjoyed the merits of the Ipswich Buses Demonstrator the lucky people on the 4 route have had the delight of Enviro 200 81 YX63 LGE for the past 4 days, deputising for Dart 85.
