Once again i must thank an good friend in Peter Horrex for allowing me the use of his photos above and below, by 1990 Eastern Counties was still under it's own management and in just over three years the Post Office Red livery had become pretty wide spread seen here above on Leyland National LN 586 WAH 586S at this time i was very much using a very basic camera unfortunately or fortunately my vast amount of photos were poor, time was not of my own making working in retail led to just travelling on Sundays on the very cheap day tickets that Suffolk County Council provided on their vast network of services as far as Hunstanton, Great Yarmouth or across to Haverhill.
Above we see one of Ipswich Buses Roe Bodied Atlanteans, i can never get bored of the stylish livery that Ipswich Buses had at the time which suited it particularly well, although rather cold in Winter with very little heating and sluggish up Bishops Hill i wouldn't have cared. Below in a picture from Stuart Ray shows an earlier Atlantean 83 WPV 83L after disgracing itself in London in April and towed back to Ipswich in disgrace it is now believed to be preserved does anyone know? I always preferred the older Atlanteans and their corporation Brown seats many survived into IBT days still in Corporation livery and looking decidedly unloved.
