Were all due to be out by today (after the very many previous date pushbacks), but it seems that hasn't happened.
End of January for the Cobalts, maybe?

I'm orchestrating a mass 'get rid of those 2 middle aged chavs from Metro Radio on the Angel' campaign 
Alas...GNE seem intent on asking me about bright upholstery and CCTV
If only. I'm all for next stop announcements, but can someone tell me why the iBus announcements TFL use aren't sufficient for the north east? Surely there are better ways of making money through advertising than having two loudmouthes disrupting peoples journeys to work.

Wonder why, all of them have arrived, maybe their waiting till Monday?
If the Cobalts aren't out till then, that's also daft for the ones being here a while...

Do you know if 6099 or 6100 have been on the road yet? Not seen any photos surprisingly, so I'd assume not.

Don't even think they're at Deptford yet. Possibly waiting all documentation to be fully taxed etc so they don't have to be moved on red plates. Kept indoors at SMR afaik.

Wonder if that's the reason why the others aren't out yet
2 Silver B9's in the Riverside Depot today by Costco appeared to have drivers who were practicing reversing.
Loading up the car with Mrs GT and was captivated by them reversing out of a parking spot, going back into it and repeating constantly

That's what happens when you are stuck driving Renowns with a broken reverse on the 2a/2c!

I know why they aren't out

Only thing I can think of is that they are getting the WiFi sorted out before entering service to reduce the chance of Spares been used.

Maybe its the tax,like Dan said

Mrs GT's assesment of the Riverside Depot was that its very handily placed to get a fresh chicken or speciality cake from Costco

Don't quote me on that one! I just guessed!

Anyway, the 71 will always remain high on the agenda !!!
Just having a tipple or two now.
Where has Fozz's bookies gone? Will stick a tenner on the 71 not staying in its current guise beyond the summer!
It is dying a slow death out there.

A selection of Cobalt Clipper B9s that I've checked would indicate that all appear to be all taxed. The two red spares for the Fab Fifty Six don't exist on the enquiry system though, so I'd assume they're not.
You can check
here if anyone is interested.

The 71 seems to be getting worse by peoples comments, i think they should of kept it to going to Sunderland but maybe a different way?
Wanna stick a tenner on them changing North Sunderland in 6 months to?

Might as well just get rid of it then!

Already put my tenner on the next North Sunderland changes being by the summer!
I initially said the next lot of changes would be announced today, but that one has been and gone
