Ipswich AEC Regent III No. 1, Princes Street

            Ipswich's first motorbus (ADX 1) heads into town from the railway station c1969.  This was presumably a peak hour extra as 9Bs didn't normally work through from the station.  This part of Princes Street has been completely transformed, this particular part now being for buses only.  The Royal Mail Sorting Office occupies the area on the left hand side of the picture, and the fire station the area (out of sight) to the right of the picture.  Princes Street witnessed the first horse trams to run in Ipswich (1880), the first electric trams (1903) and the first trolleybuses (1923).  Normal trolleybus services along Princes Street ceased around 1956, though specials, peak extras and depot turns continued until 1962.  ADX 1 was to enjoy a long life with Ipswich; new in 1950, it was finally withdrawn in 1973 and handed over to local preservationists.  It is now resident at the Ipswich Transport Museum.
