IB SCANIA OMNICITY 41 ENTERS SERVICE/FIRST IPSWICH 32479 REPAINT/TWO MORE TRIDENTS GONE

Just a quick blog tonight with the news that two Scania Omnicity Deckers arrived over the weekend 31 YR61 RPY and 41 YR61 RVF whilst one has departed from the yard in 36 YR61 RUC, with two remaining, so far 30,35,37,40,41,43 have entered service, 41 was being road tested around 9 AM and then by 1400 PM was parked in the lay by, only for Leon Wells to use it on his single run out on the 8 to Whitehouse Asda then off on a school contract. With 2 further Omnicity deckers arriving sadly it has meant the end of Trident 13 which was withdrawn over the weekend leaving just 12 and 16 of the 02 Reg batch, and the two ex Stagecoach London batch 20/21.

 How could i have forgot this month the repainting of First Ipswich Volvo B7TL 32479 AU53 HJV which has been back in service for the last two weeks, i had the pleasure of her today on the 76 into Ipswich and close up this is one of the finest repaints i have seen from First, above shows a full on shot whilst below you can see the offside and rear.

 Seen here in March 2016 is Ipswich Buses 13 LG02 FDF and below 14 LG02 FDJ which had a shorter career on service duties as it started out as the BT Contract bus before the contract was taken over by First Ipswich, seen here also in March 2016 on my old home route the 4, it kept is tables in right to the very end.
