Simmonds(Central Connect) ADL E200 ML62 OGY a recent transfer from Essex.

Well it's been a while almost 5 years and a awful lot has happened here it Suffolk not to mention fleet changes to First Ipswich, Ipswich Buses and the other operators who come under are remit, some changes have been welcome other's not so, my job is to give you the latest news over time.  Since i was last here in 2019 First carried on with local branding with Ipswich Red's and introduced Low height Wrightbus Streetdecks and Streetlites, though they have now decided to do away with local identities in favour of the latest version of their new national livery which originally started on their electric buses, I won't mince words that I don't like the new policy. Ipswich Buses currently also have a new livery as such time until they decide on one, the second hand purchases have all appeared in a white livery, 3 ADL E400 MMC's, 2 ADL E200's and 2 ADL E200 MMC's, whilst all 3 ex Lothian Volvo B7RLE's 160-62 have departed as well as both small ADL E200's 71 and 72, whilst also on it's way out is MB Citario 153. Diss operator Simmonds has been bought by Vectare however and at the time of posting you can can see at least 3 versions of livery, Simmonds white, Central Connect red and blue as seen above and the latest version as seen below on SF66 ARV a ADL E200MMC.
 

Another transfer in from Essex is a full length ADL E200 MMC In SF66 ARV.
