THE LAST TIME OR IS IT BACK IN TIME!

Well i never thought i would see this interior decor again, it must be a good ten years ago when the last East Lancs Falcons were withdrawn, the first bus to receive would been East Lancs Atlantean 36 RBJ 36W in 1980 and would finish with the G registered East Lancs Falcon's in 1989,knowing full well that IB Optare Spectra will be withdrawn in little over 3 weeks i experienced what will probably be my last journey on one today on the 4. It's been a really slow month this August with very little occurring, September with the new IB E 200's arriving should liven things up a bit. Observation's in Ipswich today saw 4 Branded, East Lancs Dart's 86/87/88  on the 8/13 with Excels 172/73, before 86 switched to the 6 in the Afternoon, while 85 was on the 6A, Trident 13 put in an appearance on the X3 while the ALX 200 Darts continue their dominance on the 4 this week 142 on Monday,140 yesterday and 142 today. 

First Ipswich Baby E200 Dart 45119 was out on the 60/61 today.

New last October for Chesterfield based Nova Tours of Chesterfield is VDL FHD2 NT65 NTL.

Seen her after an number change to 147 is Ipswich Buses B117 LDX an Bristol B21/Alexander with it's sumptuous seats these would have the 80's style decor.
