Tower Ramparts bus station, Ipswich - 21 Jun 2019 (P1020812)

Friday 21 June 2019 – Over the years Ipswich Buses has often bought secondhand buses for its fleet as well as brand new vehicles. This line-up at Tower Ramparts bus station features three secondhand and one bought brand new.

88 (YJ12 GWC) is one of the 13 Optare Tempo X1200SRs acquired from Trent Barton in early 2019. New in May 2012 this had been Trent Barton 324.

83 (SK07 DYA) is an Alexander Dennis Enviro300 new in April 2007 as a demonstrator.

92 (YJ12 GWG) is another of the former Trent Barton Optare Tempo X1200SRs. This had been Trent Barton 328 and is now branded for the Castle Hill and Whitton circular services (9 clockwise and 10 anti-clockwise).

At the far end of the line is a Mercedes-Benz O 295 Citaro, one of three bought new by Ipswich Buses in September 2015. The three are 153-155 (BF65 HVT/U/V). I think the bus here is 155.
