I always like to use song titles if it can fit in with what i am reporting, yesterday i experienced the IB Scania/E400 Demo currently into it's last week on the X5 running from Tower Ramparts to Ipswich Hospital, unfortunately i didn't enjoy, i hate to be critical but i will give an honest opinion, it will be interesting to hear other's thoughts, as soon as the bus pulled away, you could hear the panels rattling at the front, the acceleration was particularly slow as was the speed between stops, you also could barely hear the bell when it was rang, now the ADL E400 MMC that was on loan last year was so much better. With thanks to Justin Wythe at Ipswich Buses July 1st will see the end of IB's participation on the park and Ride route with First Ipswich taking over commercially on Monday the 3rd July, buses to be used on the route is currently unknown however you will be the first to know.
A Further Optare Versa has been repainted in 145.
GALLOWAYS DEMO
As i haven't a picture, the best i can do is show said coach at the German Coach show, currently Galloway have on loan a Scania Touring Hyger registered YN17 OMW, meanwhile on the Bus side of the business 354 YJ62 JWF an VDL SB180/MCV has returned to it's dealer after 18 months use, while coming in from sister company Stephenson of Rochford are Volvo Olympian/Northern Counties Palatine M409/10 RVU which have replaced 253 1842 PP a Alexander bodied Olympian and 351 N827 FKK also Alexander bodied. Many thanks to David Green for the update.
