The Ipswich Influence

Passing First's Caister Road depot in Great Yarmouth this lunchtime, I got a distinct Ipswich feel about the place!

It was hardly surprising as one of Ipswich Buses Scania Omnideckers was parked on the front forecourt.

Ipswich No 62 PJ54YZV had found its way there after working one of the regular excursions from the Suffolk county town.

For some years now the vehicle working these trips almost always parks up here rather than at Beach Coach Station.

Meanwhile, sitting just inside the depot entrance was Ipswich exile 20102.

N602APU is one of only six Volvo B10M/ Plaxton Premier's remaining in the First Eastern Counties fleet; four of them are based at Great Yarmouth
