RIDING THE 8 AND THE 4 PLUS IPSWICH BUSES FLEET UPDATE

Today i attempted a tricky manoeuvre with the aim to experience 4 different types of bus on 2 different routes and thankfully i managed it with the help of a £3.50 day rover ticket, which is certainly worth it as otherwise it would of been £6.80 in total. The first journey of the day was on the 4 and into town the best bus of all four Optare Spectra 53 X53 LBJ which while now being slightly down at heel gives the best ride of them all, comfortable seats and good acceleration, meanwhile on the 8 back and from Town i experienced Scania Omnicity 72 YN56 NVD above which i would put in 3rd place, comfortable leather seats but unfortunately a noisy rattle at the back spoilt it for me, returning i had East Lancs Dart 88 which i would put in last place, while seats are e leather they are bone hard and have very little leg room, pleasing that it didn't have any rattles, runner up for me was Trident 13 on the way back home, fairly comfortable  the old girl now 14 years old made easy work of Bishops Hill.

Goddard Road is home to the Suffolk Norse Fleet so it was nice to spot an Volvo Olympian R397 LHK heading out on a school run.
Now up is my fully updated Ipswich Buses Fleet list including the Carters Fleet.
