2003 saw Ipswich celebrate 100 years as a provider of public transport. To celebrate
DAF DB250LF 100 (PN52XBM) was delivered in gold livery at the end of 2002 and
has been suitably lettered on its East Lancs Myllennium Lowlander body for the
occasion. It is seen at Cobham in April 2003 and appeared at SHOWBUS in September.

One of Ipswich's Optare Excels was painted dark blue for Suffolk County Council "Suffolkbus" routes. 197 (T790KNW) is seen at SHOWBUS in 2001. |

On the same day in August 2005, Excel 192 (P192SGV) waits at the Station, still in the old colours. Whereas many of Ipswich's buses are named after old canal barges, this one is dubbed HANDFORD HALL PRIMARY SCHOOL AND NURSERY.

Sitting in the depot were a very different pair of buses. On the left is the last remaining Leyland B21 with Alexander Belfast bodywork, with the registration originally from Ulsterbus 3000 (WOI607). The bus is Ipswich 147, named BRISTOLIAN, and was actually licensed as a Bristol. On the right, in new colours, is one of the early East Lancs bodied Dennis Darts, 162 (L162ADX), quaintly named Doris.
