Most of the time demonstrators are allocated to the routes that they feel they will get the most out of in terms of data, not necessarily which routes they are planning new buses for.
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.
