What happened to the QPS (Quality Partnership Scheme emission ruling)?

Spectra on the 126 again today, didn't see which one but passed Pure Gym heading towards Dudley at 5pm.

The 125 in old money! or D25 with a beastie Metrowest National on it.

Have any Spectras made it onto a full 126 to Birmingham recently?

On the topic of Spectras, theres one on the 3 today at last, 1010 off Castlecroft so the usual decker board

Spectras are 100% confirmed to be staying for another 12 months. According to the person I've been talking to inside the garage, WN have invested a huge amount of money in increasing their reliability so much so they are the 2nd most reliable bus in garage behind B7RLE they are now focusing efforts and ££££s on making B6s just as reliable. So looks like they will be around a lot longer now.

Thanks for that Driver03 :) That was a question I had on my mind for sometime about how long Spectras have left.

I have been speaking to a few drivers on the 59 and they have said they don't like it now Spectras are now allocated to evening journeys aswell

That's the most common complaint I get a night when they return from service ;D

That's great news, possibly the most popular buses in the fleet the Spectras, good to know they're being made more reliable :)
