With thanks to Dave Burrows at Beestons we have this new delightful little Mercedes Benz /Unvi C41F, which is just awaiting fleetnames to be applied.

The odd and strange runs of Ipswich Buses continue yesterday Scania 72 YN56 NVE was on the 4, while Enviro 200 79 was on the 202, where the only Decker turns on the route are for the school run in the morning and afternoon, interestingly if you want to find Trident 14 you're best bet now is the 4 from 1135 until 1405. Meanwhile Optare Solo 245 looks to be out of service currently with 244 taking its place on the 38.
