AEC Regent V, Ipswich Corporation, 3 Rushmere Heath
Ipswich Corporation began operating trams back in 1903 and continued to
do so until 1923 when trams were replaced with trolleybuses, with buses
being introduced in the area in 1950. In 1986, to comply with the
Transport Act 1985 the assets of Ipswich Corporation were transferred to
what is now known as Ipswich Buses. Built by the Associated Equipment
Company between 1954 and 1969 – when the last of them entered serviced,
the Regent V was a front-engined double decker bus and was used
extensively by bus companies around Britain at the time including by
Ipswich Corporation.
