Well neither side has blinked yet. Although Ipswich Buses may be the first to do so as they only have a limited funding base and they are desperately trying to make their routes profitable. First have the 66 which makes money, along with every main route that leaves Ipswich - with the exception...

Just a note on the betting odds - really don't think Ipswich will get changed. Its received some newish buses recently and it buses have slowly been given the new attempt at a livery. Also it is in the middle of a bus war with Ipswich Buses which it itself started. Shame it seems to be losing it...

Thank you bb21 - yes I meant ALX200 - for some reason I had 400 stuck in my head.

Ipswich Buses wouldn't have made those changes if First didn't attack Ipswich Buses. In an unrelated note - I saw the Alexander (ALX400??) Darts Ipswich Buses have obtained in the flesh this morning for the first time, they look very smart in the "Batternburg" livery, and in my eyes look...

I'm sorry but when is it ever good practice to have a bus out looking like that when it is running a service. Brand is everything, which First have no care for. That bus should have been painted straight away, not left hanging around in service for several weeks. Also - do not have a go at me...

I'm pleased as well. Despite Labour saying it is bad for the area @Facepalm@ Well, First do not look after their fleet at all, alot of those 05 reg buses already have a lot of panel damage and are grotty inside. They clearly operate for profit - and have withdrawn routes already in...

I wouldn't worry about Ipswich Buses really. There is a general hatred of First round here and the attitude that they don't really care about us. Ipswich Buses are certainly winning the bus war up here with lots of people waitimg for an ipswich bus not a first bus. IPB have a better fleet...

Ok! Thank you :)

Thank you for a very quick reply! Also - I can arrive at LST after 12pm - so I could get a Super Off Peak Return I believe? I can turn up and ask for a London Games ticket at a ticket office as well?

Hey All, I'm going to watch the Women's Semi Final at Wembley tommorow evening, and I am looking at the cheapest tickets between Ipswich and Wembley. I have a 16-25 Railcard, and also an Olympic Games Travelcard. I've tried using http://www.brfares.com/ however the fares are incorrect...

There updating it, and the server isn't coping particularity well.

I think the noise was probably a unit issue. Where was the train coming from if the service was being started at Shenfield?

Have you ever used NXEA 170s which have been run into the ground? Also, standing room only on a train at 09:44 on a Sunday?

I like the looks of a Mac but the functionality (and the cheapness) of Windows

Heres mine: Guess the OS!

More likely no Staff.

No, It wasn't. The 09:55 was that one (when it ran London to Peterborough). However the 09:44 has been a MK3+90s for the last 2 years. I would understand if it was a 4 coach Class 321 as the capacity would be better, and it would be alot of fun (100mph on them between Ipswich and Needham :D)...

The Line from chester to Llandudno (ok I know its not an acutal line, but it is awe-inspiring)

Ignore the Zone thing, it is complete rubbish and is never ever used, the simple rule to remember is as far south as Ipswich, and West as Ely and Cambridge. Also, for some reason a few years ago, me and my family went to Harwich, and the person sold us a Anglia Plus ticket, without us...

I meant to mention that, however it really shouldn't make a difference. In fact it should make it easier. Less of a route to cover, but no National Express must put on noisy 170s compared to quiet and comfy Mk3s.
