SDX 22R, Ipswich Atlantean 22, Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies Works, circa 1982.
Another view that has been posted on flickr before, but redone because of the recent demise of Service 2. This shows the terminus at Ransomes Works on the east side of Ipswich. Bus 22 is setting out for Electric House on the "regular" Derby Road service, but the shot must have been taken around shift change time, for two other buses are on hand to undertake "peak" extras. Bristol 121 is on a works special that used to run right through to Chantry Estate.
Most (possibly all) bus services ceased using this facility after Ransomes Way was opened up in January 1989.
