So, some interesting developments appear to be happening with buses in East Anglia outside of the mass repainting which is going on with First Eastern Counties.
I'll get the ball rolling with the latest Suffolk Updates.
Galloway are giving up routes 115 and 116 which are going over to Ipswich Buses, whilst also giving up 110, 112, 113 and 114 which are going to Simmonds in the next week.
In November there's a whole host of services being cancelled because of the withdrawal of subsidy, although there are still talks on a number of routes ongoing about possibly being operated commercially. Beestons will operate the 971 commercially and Ipswich Buses are going to operate the 92, 93, 97 and 98 commercially, but the 93C, 94/A/C are all gone and the 98 will now only be school days.
On the subject of Beestons, there's talk of Ipswich Buses entering the Hadleigh to Ipswich market according to their website. This may explain the recent Beestons timetable increase to every hour between Hadleigh and Ipswich. When I came out of Ipswich train station tonight I noted a Enviro 400 MMC on the 91 rather than the usual Omnidekka. Does anyone know if that was a one off, or is this now an allocation?
