Arriva have the same issue with their Streetlites - it's a vehicle issue, as opposed to a Go North East issue. I suppose it's up to the operator to work with Wrightbus on finding a fix for the problem, though. It's in the best interests of the bus operator to market the provision of power sockets on their services, so I'm pretty sure neither Go North East nor Arriva will be dragging their heels with working on a fix.
They were all StreetLite's yes, I wouldn't lay a blame on any company in particular purely because I have had this issue with both companies.
Maybe says something about Wrightbus and their sometimes lackadaisical build quality.
