COMPETING ROUTES IN IPSWICH 2013

Who remembers Anglian's attempt to compete with First on the 64/65, well this was the time when First were competing with Ipswich Buses on town routes, such as the X3 and Ipswich Buses reaction was to work over there routes such as the 60/61 which is now the only route where they compete, above we see Anglian's Scania Omnicity YT11 LVF on the 164 from Aldeburgh. Below we see AU11 EPF an Optare Versa in Great Colman Street heading out to Rendlesham on the other competing route, whilst below we see Scania L94/Wright 65672 SN51 UYE of First Ipswich at Broke Hall Shops on the split up route of the old 62 which became the 55/56 just to confuse people, whilst IB made it a whole lot easier by starting up the 4.
