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.


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.

They were made aware of the wifi not working on the 4 from day 1 though...
Just like they were made aware of problems from day 1 on the Streetlites and the problems on the x1 Geminis.

No idea whether it is GNE who are responsible or Moovbox (or whatever the provider is called), but 4 months to not get it working or find even a temporary fix is poor.
To then leave existing vehicles (despite spending thousands of pounds on kit) and concentrate on fixing vehicles that weren't even in the country in October...
Baffling.

In the case of the 4, is it even worth fixing the wifi now? Not sure anybody tries to see if it is working yet, so when (if it does) get fixed, passengers will be so used to not having it, they probably wont test it out.
