- Ipswich Buses 13 Service early mornings Monday-Saturday has had 'timetable improvements' A few journeys have been re-timed, mainly just moving a few times of buses around and starting 5 minutes earlier, no extra buses have been put in and still large gaps in the early timetable still. So just timetable re-shuffling, presumed helping some people to get to work/Rail Station at a better time.

- First have registered the 62A, only one trip as far as Melton leaving the Old Cattle Mkt Bus Station at 18.55hrs, this is replacing the Suffolk County Council tendered evening service previously run by Ipswich Buses.
