Another couple of days and it will be the deadline for Non DDA Single Decker buses, looking at many fleet lists there is still quite a large number existing within the major groups such as First and Arriva, however we must might being saying goodbye to the Ipswich Buses Dart SLF's  all three will go when their MOT's run out the remaining being 89/92/96 X89/92/96 LBJ, above you can see 89 back in November 2014 on the 6 when it worked through Broke Hall, followed by two former First Ipswich Dart's one of the Plaxton Pointer 2 type 43488 R688 DPW and one ex Devon & Cornwall of the original Plaxton Pointer style 42431 P431 ORL both back in early 2013 just as they were being phased out and finishing with an Ipswich Buses East Lancs Dart from the second batch being 133 R133 FBJ back in 2013 on the 16.
