Nothing is being spent on them other than what is needed to keep them legally on the road ! Penfold

If rumours prove to be correct then it's a case of more second hand c**p heading to Tiger country. But that is what we have come to expect.(yes I know it's a low cost unit)

There are always rumours of everything from Arriva going to Tiger, it was the Tempos last time. Besides the one at Bradford, 6/7 double decks at Tiger are already newer than the Spectras and were refurbished inside.

The Spectras have had a really good run in the Arriva Yorkshire empire. Plus they'd be DDA complaint too compared to older buses. (Someone will have to quote me on whether the Spectras are DDA compliant???)

Recently I've seen the Desti's all working on the spectras Majority of the side and rear destination blinds have been sent away for refurbishment. Some are still awaiting to be refitted if and/or when they ever will be. Penfold

Remained of Tempos to Arriva North East. Plans though are changing on a daily basis. Penfold
