A CHANGE OF BLINDS/FLASHBACK

Ipswich Buses have changed there style of destination blinds and for the first time have the Destination at the bottom rather than the top, which is to the same pattern that London's Buses run to with the intermediate places at the top as illustrated by Lowlander 57 PN52 XBJ seen here on the 15, currently some buses are working with the Bus Diverted destination due to the roadworks in Tacket Street, which affects routes X1/X3/4/6/38 although i have only seen this on the 4 so far, there was also Bus Diverted on the blinds on the X5 this morning due to an RTA.

Ipswich Buses Scania Omnicity 71 YN56 NVC did a turn on the X5 this morning due to late running traffic because of an RTA.

FLASHBACK

Today's flashback takes us back to the 1976 when some of the Eastern Counties Bristol MW class were repainted into bus livery for one man operation, LS 805/06/10 3805/06/10 PW were also downgraded with bus seats becoming B41F while sisters LS 804/08/09/11/13 3804/08/09/11/13 PW retained their coach seats as seen by LS 811 above in Norwich Bus Station, LS 814-23 3814/15 PW/816-23 BNG were also downgraded to bus use becoming DP41F in 1975, all received front dome destination blinds, strangely LS 805/06/10 didn't last that long being withdrawn the same year, LS 804/08 in 1977 and LS 809/11/13/16-23 in 1978.
