Carters was set up as a family business in 1985. The company first ran
from a base in East Bergholt, Suffolk. The depot relocated to a petrol
station next to the A12 in Capel St Mary. On 27 May 2016 the company
was taken over by Ipswich Buses and began using Constantine Road
Depot in Ipswich. Carters Coaches initially kept their separate identity
(although the brand has now been completely phased out) with most
tickets being interchangeable with Ipswich Buses.[5]
Services[edit]
Carters operated a number of regular standard routes and more limited
services. Both urban and rural areas were served with many of the
company's routes running into Ipswich serving the Old Cattle Market bus
station. It also operated some school services under contract to Suffolk
County Council.[6]
Fleet[edit]
As at September 2013 Carters operated a fleet of 13 buses. It also
owned 4 preserved double deckers: 1 Bristol Lodekka, 2 Bristol VRs and
1 AEC Routemaster.[7]
