So they do have a Ipswich Rail Station on the roller blinds...no excuse for "SERVICE" or the even more informative "_______" on the 66 now...
The movement of First vehicles through Eastleigh railway works continues and I can not hope to record it all. I hope that my photographs can be viewed along with those of the others who are able to record these activities. On Boxing Day 2013, nine old vehicles were present of which six had their rear advertising removed. In this view are, (l-r) Wright Axcess Floline bodied Scania L94UB 60162/S109TNB, and three Plaxton Pointer bodied Dennis Darts, 42123/R623YCR, 42118/R618YCR and 46316/M316YOT.
