MORE CITAROS FOR IPSWICH BUSES

It seems to be somewhat true that municipal and Suffolk-based bus company Ipswich Buses have recently acquired Mercedes-Benz Citaro's which are going to postdate existing DAF Lowlander DB250LF's 
Myself personally when I first heard of this in February I immediately thought the Versas would be vanishing from Ipswich Buses, yet in April, a wonderful person who lives in Buckinghamshire who knows a few drivers in Ipswich; has said it's DB250's (Lowlanders) and according to another wonderful bloke who lives in Ipswich put a small post confirming this which is was from General Manager of Ipswich Buses.

Looking at this information, it seems that Optare Tempo SR buses 94 - 99 will be vanishing from the 13 routes and exchanging onto 8 routes, whilst these second-hand Citaro's could be employed on 13 routes. 
Now Trentbarton & Knichbus (Sister company) are part of the Wellglade which is a transport group based in Heanor, Derbyshire.

Please stay safe out there!
