Ipswich

60WBC Man HiCom is no longer registered.

I think 61WBC (Man HiCom) and 71WBC (Man Volgren) may also be gone...71 use to do the 529 rail bus, but this has been done by 9 and 10 for quite a while now..

Hunted 13WBC down.

It's a Volvo B8RLE with a Volgren Optimus body. Single leaf centre door. White desto. Chrome wheels. Has the "new" translink livery, logo on sides but no "swirls". Looks nice as.
