HDX 908N, Ipswich Atlantean No. 5, Stoke Park Drive
Ipswich Atlantean No. 5 heading back into town along Stoke Park Drive, c1982. With its many hills and undulations, one cannot help pondering that the Stoke Park route would have suited trolleybuses down to the ground. A foolish daydream? Perhaps, but in the 1990s Ipswich Buses did prepare a report on the possibilities of bringing back trolleybuses and this route was identified as a prime candidate for "electrification" !
