IB NEW ROUTES CHANGES PART ONE

Yesterday Scania Omnidekka/East Lancs 60 PJ54 YZT found itself unusually on the XI one of the routes undergoing change.
As in total the changes take up 8 pages from the VOSA site on Word i'm going to divide into two blogs the first part will include all the routes which are changing numbers or are new, two routes definitely going are the 14 and the Open Top circular 30, a chance for First Ipswich to take on the Ipswich and Felixstowe tours?
As can be see both the X1-3 have been withdrawn and renumbered as followed what is essentially the X3 to John Lewis becomes the 1 and the X1 to Greenwich becomes the 3, the 6 and 6A to Ipswich Hospital remain but the 6 will no longer have an evening service, that maybe because new route 2 covers pretty much the same ground, new service 7 will replace service 19 and be extended through  Castle Hill and Mereidith Road through to Asda. If this news hadn't come out i would have done unusual types on different routes, another one is pictured below the Notices and Proceedings.
