Yeah, as far as I know we're still looking at the launch to be 10th November.
They're expected to be transferred from the middle of next week, so we can expect a few days of driver familiarisation on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday of that week too. Smile

Should be 10th November at Chester-le-Street, similar to the Waggonway Solars last month.
The Lambton Worm will be allocated the Waggonway Solars that day as they interwork, so no vehicles are required.

Indeed they did - 9139 (ERZ2028). Was on demonstration purposes for a while, and saw use on Deptford's services 36, 39, 42, 60 and 61 off memory.

Can anyone explain why both of these demonstrators have NI plates - but other Wright demonstrators (as far as I'm aware) didn't.

I know the obvious answer will be because they were registered in Northern Ireland - but if they spent a big chunk of time here, would it have made more sense to give them 'mainland' GB plates?
