The three currently at Deptford as to the exact same specification to the Solo SR's at Washington whereas the ones at Peterlee were purchased second hand are not.

I think we could be expecting some unexpected fleet movements next too with the depot opening.

6101-6105 are in service and 6106 is in the NE-don’t know if it service or at Saltmeadows and it looks like 6107-6109 are not in service (according to app) today so I believe they are out of service for the refurbishment

Note the base livery design has slightly changed on 6104 and 6105, with a light blue stripe contrasting better with the dark blue paint at the back.

Being honest I prefer that design to 6101-3's  they also have a silvery half triangle on the behind the stairs window.

Are 6109-14 and 6115/7 (if they get repainted) getting advert frames

Yes, they'll all receive advertisement frames.

6101 - 6103 will receive these base livery modifications when the 'phase two' branding gets applied.

Hopefully the brand is designed so it avoids the advertisements frames... nothing worse when you see a brand half cut off by an advert.... 

When will the Cobalt Clippers get branded?

I suspect soon maybe after 6109 is delivered back
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2019
I am hopefully going to ride the 792 soon. Are there any GNE services I could link to in Benton? I am not sure how far I would have to walk to get the 42/42A, 57 or 309/310.

5481-85 possibly, with Corporate Omnicities as replacement (5481-5 and Omnicities are both euro 4)
