FURTHER POINTS TO PARK AND RIDE DECISION

The Bury Road Park And Ride service which has now closed was originally operated by Optare Spectra's which were replaced in 2003 by DAF Lowlander's and cascaded to Town routes seen back in 2013 with it's original destination display is 52 X152 LBJ.

I have since yesterday read the report issued by Suffolk County Council furthering the information i put on the blog, the scheme that was originally suggested was that Ipswich Buses and First Ipswich would integrate the services into the 13(Ipswich Buses) and the 63-65 (First Ipswich) however the negotiations with IB broke down to highways infrastructure improvements within the timescale suggested, thus an alternative by FEC to keep the service running as it is, which would provide a service that wouldn't go round the houses, would offer the same journey time, simplified fare structure and improved service on the Woodbridge/Aldeburgh corridor, as well as keeping further links to Ipswich Hospital,Ipswich Station and Suffolk One. However one downfall could be the loss of First operating services in Snape,Tunstall and Knodishall.

An additional Park and Ride Service was added in 2003 to Martlesham, with 5 Transbus/East Lancs Dart's 84-88 which were cascaded to Town routes in 2008 after the loss of the contract to First Ipswich. Seen here is 86 PJ53 OLG now branded for the 4.
