Ipswich's first motor buses were AEC Regent IIIs with Park Royal bodywork in 1950. Up until then the town was served by trolleybuses. 24 (EPV24) was the last Regent III delivered in 1956 - deliveries then switched to the Regent V. Now preserved, it is seen at Southsea in 2003 alongside Swindon's preserved Daimler CVD6, 112 (UMR112). |

Side by side at the depot in August 2005 are former London Olympian L100 (C100CHM) and 40 (M640EPV) an East Lancs bodied Volvo Olympian new to the fleet in 1995. Volvo 40 is named BEATRICE MAUD and 45 (former L100) is sturdily named ROYAL OAK.

Another secondhand acquisition was 38 (H705PTW), formerly in the Dublin Bus fleet. It was one of the first buses to adopt the new livery and is seen here at EFE SHOWBUS International in 2003, the year it joined the fleet. This was also Ipswich's Centenary year and the bus was parked alongside the gold DAF DB250 East Lancs Lowland, CENTENNIAL, in gold livery. The Olympian has gained the name WESTERN SOVEREIGN.
