BEFORE THEY WERE IN IPSWICH

A chance today to view some of First Ipswich's fleet when they were in Norwich and some which have long since departed to the scrapyard in the sky!, kicking off with Volvo B7TL 32479 AU53 HJV now of course in the heritage Eastern Counties livery.
A bit of a double spotting here as we see Volvo B7TL 32655 AU05 MUY and Volvo B7RLE 69006 AU05 DMF in Park and Ride livery.
Dennis Dart 43477 R477 CAH certainly did the rounds when it was around and was one of the last Darts allocated to Ipswich 3 years ago, seen here on the 20 to Costessey.
 One of my great misfortunes was to travel on this Dennis Dart 46083 K283 XJB and it's sister 46081 in Ipswich as more often or not they were allocated to my route, talk about bouncing up and down in your seat, originally from London these emigrated firstly west to Somerset then late in their career to Norwich then Ipswich.
 Currently allocated to Ipswich is Volvo B7RLE 69008 AU05 DMV seen here on Sprowston Park and Ride.
Scania L94 65558 R258 DVF and it's sister 65557 had a short term at Ipswich late in their life's before moving to Northampton.
