IPSWICH BUSES AND OTHERS LEYLAND ATLANTEANS

As you may know i'm extremely fond of the Leyland Atlantean's so today we take a look at the wide and varied types that lit up Ipswich with a bit of Great Yarmouth thrown in for measure, above from the last batch of Roe bodied Atlantean's we see 33 SDX 33R with a T shaped advert for Kall Kwik Print Copy Design which no longer exists.The very first batch of Atlantean's appeared in 1968 with 73-76 LDX 73-76G with what was unusual for the company at the time ECW bodies. Heading up the road initially buying MCW bodied Atlantean's Great Yarmouth after the first batch of 1-4 DEX 701-04 they bought like Ipswich Roe bodied one's below we see the final one of the first batch 4 DEX 704, next up we see ICT 95 TRT 95M which was the last batch of buses to feature the brown leather seats before the Corporation became Ipswich Borough Transport heading out to Broke Hall on the 4, while below that we see East Lancs bodied 40 RGV 40W from 1981 on the long departed Northern Circular service.
