Welcome to a photo montage edition of the blog recalling 2013 which was a very busy year which included a new operator on Park And Ride, whilst both Bus Stations were refurbished some would say they don't look any different.
First Ipswich received a batch of Scania L94/Wright Solar from First Essex during this year including 65674 SN51 UYH with dealer stock red seating which originated in Scotland.
Ipswich Buses second batch of Dennis Dart/East Lancs Included 134 R134 FBJ seen loading at Broke Hall Shops on the 4.
Simonds were using at the time on the 113/114 an Enterprise Plaxton Primo YN57 BXM, this was the terminus in Upper Brook Street whilst the Old Cattle Market Bus Station was closed for refurbishment.
Ipswich Park and Ride changed hands from First using above Volvo B7RLE 69428 AU58 FFP to Ipswich Buses using second hand Optare Versa's from Nottingham, 69428 has since carried 3 further liveries all in 7 years!
New to Beestons YT11 LTA was a Scania N230UD which had a very small time in the fleet it's seen here passing through Crown Street in the Autumn of 2013
During 2013 First Ipswich had a rival on the 64/65 to Aldeburgh in the shape of Anglian which due to low passenger numbers didn't last long seen here is Scania Omnilink YT11 LVF which has stayed in East Anglia with Chambers and is seen frequently on the 753/54 services out of Sudbury.
