IPSWICH BUSES FALCONS REWIND

 From the first batch of East Lancs bodies, we see 104 YDX 104Y in the after Deregulation livery with Green skirt.

Some might say that there ugly, well i won't say that, but Ipswich Buses certainly knew how to buy the odd, indeed of the Northern Counties bodies there was actually one other buyer that being Hartlepool, most were sold on though for further work, ironically sold to First Group for use with First Leicester, Leicester as a council owned company had been very keen on Falcons, it was the last type of East Lancs bodies which were the most popular seeing use into the mid 2000's.
 The later built Falcon's from 1987 onward had a lot better appeal to the eye, from the last batch is East Lancs bodied 122 G122 VDX at Tower Ramparts.
Resting outside the canteen is Northern Counties bodied 108 C108 SDX which was later purchased by First Group.
