A very unexpected demonstrator has
arrived at Ipswich Buses on loan for four weeks appraisal on the town routes,
so I went down to test this magnificent beast out, and it was intensely
brilliant on the exterior and the interior of the Alexander Dennis Enviro
400MMC bodied Scania N280UD - YN66BBV. However, this vehicle was on loan to
Reading, as it was fleet number 776, and besides that, it has the remains of
the Reading parts around the bus. I have been on the bus myself to Ipswich
Hospital and for the return journey, and everytime I'm downstairs or upstairs,
it just feels so swanky.
Another demonstrator has also arrived at
Ipswich Buses, and I have experienced this bus from the route 16. They have
decided to trial an Optare Solo SR vehicle, and went I boarded from next stop before
the train station, and the interior was really stunning to look, and I even
took a photograph of this SR outside the office at Tower Ramparts, as it was
doing the route 19 afterwards.
This has been a very long time since
Ipswich Buses has trailed two or more demonstrators on town routes. If I remember,
fleet number 83 was trialled on the Park & Ride in Ipswich a few years ago,
and Ipswich Buses has purchased it in their own livery.
