The long awaited return to Ipswich of Volvo B7 69005 is imminent. She was on display in Rotherham today, and thanks to Chris Nelson's generosity in sharing his photos I can bring you the first pic of the new interior, complete with leather seating. The seats look the same, so it would apppear that it is re-upholstering not brand new seats, which makes sense really as the originals were comfortable. Hopefully I will get to Ipswich later this week and get some good interior shots - it would appear the public were not allowed on board today. You can see Chris Nelson's Flickr page
here.
