9083 is here as a long term loan, not as a demomstrator, although i’d be surprised if they weren’t using the data as an added bonus to build on what they got from 9099.

The Cobalt Clipper repaints should hopefully start in the next few weeks, having been delayed over  the summer by the London cascades that needed to be prepared for September. The B9TLs are going nowhere for a few more years yet.

As it hasn't been noted on here, 723 is back at Hexham from Washington and 721 has been branded into Tynedale Links.
