I've been on a number of Fab56s now and it's been working every time - though I can't confirm fleet numbers.
I've been on both 6099 and 6100 too and it's been fine.
6101/6102 are the only Cobalts I've been on, but again, both fine.

Maybe passengers are as apathetic about it, as customer services seem to be.
Just relieved it was GNE money that has been put to waste and not any of the public money mentioned in the bus fund thread.
As I said in an above post, the priority has been ensuring that the vehicles entering service from the date Go North East were made aware of the problem do not encounter the same issue. For me, this has worked a treat and I have had no troubles with the Fab56 and Cobalt Clipper vehicles.
Once all of the new vehicles are out on the road, the objective will be to test EVERY vehicle in the fleet to ensure that the Wi-Fi is working.
