TWO MORE SCANIA OMNICITY DECKERS ARRIVE AND OTHER NEWS.

Not a great shot but a further two Scania Omnicity arrived yesterday at Ipswich Buses which are believed to be numbered 46/47 YR61 RPX/RVA thanks to Nigel Diplock who sorted out the registration plates which had been taped partially over. The ex Carters routes certainly had a mixture of types on Monday and Tuesday including Scania/Optare 69 on Monday and Lowlander 56 on both days with Scania Omnidekka 62 on Monday. Currently 2 Ipswich Buses Scania Omnicity are off the road those being 71 and 72. As far as allocations to routes the 1 and 3 to John Lewis are Optare Versa operated for much of the day, whilst the 4 and 8 for the best part of the day are Enviro 200 worked however at 3.05 and 3.35 it changes to Optare Solo for 2 journeys then a Double Decker off schools and a Optare Versa off the 3, with the Enviro 200's swapping to the 3 and 2 respectively. Yesterday First had Mini Enviro 200 45119 out on the 60/61 instead of one the usually allocated Volvo B7RLE's, the allocation of 2 Volvo B7TL's to these routes has now ended since the roadworks in Melton finished last week.

Enviro 200 78 YX14 RWL was on service 13 today instead of Optare Versa with Stephen Hilton in charge see you're famous now for being on my Blog.

IB Scania/Optare Olympus 69 put in a rare shift on the ex Carters services 92-94 on Monday.

Seen on London Road this evening was Simmonds ex Travelmasters XIL 4072  a Volvo B10M-62/Van Hool new in 1998.
