5419 today in WN was making some strange noise today, didnt sound very healthy

[Niall]

The 79 usually has one or two Spectras. I usually hang around West Brom and one will come after a couple of buses.

[Trident 4609]

Routes 11/32/59 nearly always have spectra's?

Yes Spectras are the main allocation on the 59 (With Tridents and B5 hybrids aswell). The 79 is another route that has Spectras. (The 529 gets Spectras regually aswell)

[Trident 4609]

Was over there during the morning last Friday and as stated the 11/32/59 produced and 4005 was the earliest travelled on.

Can anyone let us know what the plans for these buses are as i see 4003 has just been withdrawn!

tbh i am unsure about the future for the Spectras at PL. Depending on deliveries and cascades they may be withdrawn as early as next year or they could stay till as late as 2016

[4006]

Parts are a problem for the Spectra's at the momemt I've heard they will be withdrawn next year 4003/7 already gone. Best way to get a Spectra is to simply wait in the bus station  :)

Just saw 4016 on 255E

And with the Spectras operating the 59, you won't wait long until one turns up ;)

What tine did you see 4016 Winston, I thought i saw it on the 59 today but i could be thinking back to yesterday ;) Spectras are starting to creep back onto the 255 once again with more tridents working the 59.

I suspect either the 126 wil be upgraded with new buses or tridents will cascade to replace the Spectras

About 5-10 mins before I posted

It must be a replacement.  There were 8 Tridents on the route earlier in the afternoon.  If it was on the 1645 from Merry Hill then it would have replaced 4607.
