All three Mercedes Benz Citario's for Ipswich Buses 9/10 service to Castle Hill and Whitton have arrived as i revealed last night on twitter should be 153-55 with two of the three currently at Constantine Road registered BV65 HVT/V, as can be seen they have been delivered in current fleet livery. The date of their entry into service has now been pushed back two days to October 7th a Wednesday. I should be visiting the depot next week to get a sneaky peak at what they are like quickly followed by a report on October 7th with Steve W to give you a unbiased view as an on the road report.
Well this was how we travelled in my young days, from the age of 11 i was fascinated by the Bristol RE okay they rattle, the windows vibrate but who cares when they produce the magnificent Bristol engine whine. Here we see the first one in the batch of five Ipswich purchased from Leicester 118 TRY 118H, one of my claims to fame was seeing 118 i think leaving Constantine depot for it's final journey in revenue earning service back in 1987.
