SATURDAY SERVICE ON A WEDNESDAY

It's unusual for me too experience a Saturday service at the best of times as i tend to avoid the Town Centre however being a Christmas holiday, Ipswich Buses deployed a Saturday service on a Wednesday, in general the timetables don't differ to the weekday ones to the untrained eye, but today certainly threw up some unusual spotting for the enthusiast. Seen above IB ALX 200 Dart 142 was gainfully employed although with very little custom on the Free Shuttle around the town, the X1 which always seems to do very little trade against First's 60/61, had ALX 200 Dart 141 along with Scania Omnicity 70 see below, and Scania Omnidekka 61, the X3 had 2 Double Deckers Tridents 11 and 25 and a ADL E200 107. On my route the 4 was Trident 23 and Dart 139, X5 had Scania Omnidekka 62 in place of one of the usual Scania/Optare Deckers, the 16 had Dart 143, the 10 had Scania Omnicity 73 and the 13 had Dart 138. IB's Shotley service the 202 had Trident 21, whilst ADL E200 79 continued on Park And Ride duties.

 IB DennisTrident 11 LG02 FCX was one of two deckers on the X3 today.
