First Ipswich Deckers To UEA

Following a rumour that three First Ipswich deckers were being used on the 511 route (recently won from Konectbus), Dan High made his way to the University of East Anglia (UEA) to see if it was true.



It certainly was - as the UEA was holding its first graduation day and he captured pictures of three Alexander ALX400 bodied Volvo B7TLs in Ipswich Reds livery on the route. They were 32492 (AU53 HKK), 32493 (AU53 HKL) and 32654 (AU05 MUW). Also reported by Bus Times was a fourth example in the form of 32486 (AU53 HKD).




First also surprisingly employed excel Scania N250UD / ADL Enviro400 City 36901 YN69 XZD on the free service from Costessey Park and Ride to the University



Sanders Coaches' OmniDekka bodied Scania N94UD 115 YN55 CFF provided additional assistance for the route

My thanks to Dan for his report and photos
