FIRST IPSWICH PROSTATE CANCER PEDAL AND OTHER THINGS

Just a few things to add to yesterday's blog, as can be seen seen above Ipswich Depot staff kicked off their 25 hour pedal for Prostrate Cancer, the event was organised by two lady drivers Alison Clark and Kirsten Elliot and started this morning at 10.00 am with Freddie the Frog who was being a bit lively having photos taken and trying to cajole passengers into giving money for one minute i thought it was Chris Speed as Freddie, but as he is on holiday....

Today saw a few odd things to report including the use of  Ipswich Buses Optare Solo 244 YN53 ELW on the 16, an DAF Lowlander on the X3, whilst First Ipswich used full length Enviro 200 44519 on the 59 and Volvo B7RLE 69428 on the 53. An odd working on Saturday's is an spare Ipswich Buses single decker working the 12.31 from Bixley Farm on the 4 as an extra bus is needed for covering the extension to Martlesham at lunchtimes, Monday to Friday this is covered by a Double Decker coming off the 6A at 1125, the Saturday working involves a dead run to Bixley Farm from Tower Ramparts. Seen below is IB East Lancs Dart 98 X98 LBJ covering this duty.
