Ipswich Buses 133 (R133 FBJ) at Shotley - 13 Oct 2008 (DSCN2504)

Monday 13 October 2008 (approx 1406) - Ipswich Buses 133 (R133 FBJ), an East Lancs Spryte bodied Dennis Dart SLF new April 1998 named ‘Coronation’, seen at Shotley Marina ready to work the 1410 service 98 back to Ipswich. It is not that often one gets the chance to photograph a bus so close to a boat!

Shotley lies at the point of a peninsula where the Rivers Stour and Orwell flow into the North Sea. The cranes of the Port of Felixstowe, the busiest container port in the UK, can be seen in the background on the opposite bank of the Orwell. To the right (off camera) across the Stour is the much smaller port and town of Harwich.
