IPSWICH UPDATE

Most of this information has been published elsewhere, but for those who don't view them this is a sort of recap for those who haven't seen the news this will bring you bang up to date, Ipswich Buses have currently two Demonstrators one which was announced on the last blog, which i have to slightly correct being an Scania chassis with an ADL E400 body, also being used currently is Optare Solo SR YJ16 DDA which has been featured here previously with Beestons and is numbered for it's stay as 501 and is mainly employed on the 16 or the 19. Ipswich Buses have also an new version of the current livery with the first recipient Optare Versa 152 YK08 EPV which has been painted out of Park and Ride livery into a new scheme in preparation for the switch over to First, unfortunately at present there seems to be no news on the planned change over.

On another note Ipswich Buses have begun to add IB logos to the Carters Fleet of which i have noted three Buses so far including the below Trident 8 LX04 FYB along with Transbus Trident 26 and MCV Evolution 156 which was done last year.

Galloways have added an a further Optare Solo to the fleet in 360 MX59 AWF this was formerly with Hatch Green Coaches who operate in the Taunton area, with one Solo believed to be withdrawn if anyone knows anymore please contact me through the regular e mail address or via Twitter or Facebook.
