Just a quick blog today with notice that First Ipswich have ADL E200 45118 ST09 JPT on loan for just a few days with sister to to the above 45119 RT09 JPT which unusually found it's way on to town route 60/61 to Greenwich/Greenwich, unfortunately i just missed 45118 by a matter of a few minutes which found it's way on to to the 70 to Woodbridge. IB wise there was very little in the way of unusual allocations most routes now settling down to largely Single Deckers, although the 15/15A found a return from the Carters fleet of Lowlander 57 with sister 58, while Dennis Trident 16 was on Carter's services.
Further to Saturday's blog the Ipswich Transport Museum launched the very nearly completed Eastern Counties Dennis Ace D3 later D973 CAH 923 this was delivered new in January 1938, upon withdrawal in 1949 the engine and gearbox was used in the chassisless E.C.W CD class of 1950, D973 then had a second life after passing initially to Ben Jordan(Dealer) at Coltishall by joining Bickers fleet at Coddenham by this time it was fitted with an Dennis engine and gearbox from D976, after withdrawal it was then fitted with the body of D989 DVF 519 a later Ace from 1941.
