(08 Jan 2014, 6:50 pm)Michael That's it?, thought more would of being out by now, hopefully more out tomorrow

Were all due to be out by today (after the very many previous date pushbacks), but it seems that hasn't happened.

End of January for the Cobalts, maybe? Wink

(08 Jan 2014, 6:48 pm)gtomlinson We all had to opt in or out of them when we signed up through work. All of us got them this morning.

I'm orchestrating a mass 'get rid of those 2 middle aged chavs from Metro Radio on the Angel' campaign Big Grin

Alas...GNE seem intent on asking me about bright upholstery and CCTV

If only. I'm all for next stop announcements, but can someone tell me why the iBus announcements TFL use aren't sufficient for the north east? Surely there are better ways of making money through advertising than having two loudmouthes disrupting peoples journeys to work. Sad

Wonder why, all of them have arrived, maybe their waiting till Monday?

If the Cobalts aren't out till then, that's also daft for the ones being here a while...

Do you know if 6099 or 6100 have been on the road yet? Not seen any photos surprisingly, so I'd assume not.

Don't even think they're at Deptford yet. Possibly waiting all documentation to be fully taxed etc so they don't have to be moved on red plates. Kept indoors at SMR afaik.

2 Silver B9's in the Riverside Depot today by Costco appeared to have drivers who were practicing reversing.

Loading up the car with Mrs GT and was captivated by them reversing out of a parking spot, going back into it and repeating constantly

That's what happens when you are stuck driving Renowns with a broken reverse on the 2a/2c!

Only thing I can think of is that they are getting the WiFi sorted out before entering service to reduce the chance of Spares been used.

Mrs GT's assesment of the Riverside Depot was that its very handily placed to get a fresh chicken or speciality cake from Costco

(08 Jan 2014, 6:23 pm)busman101 Have you been on the drink ?

Anyway, the 71 will always remain high on the agenda !!!

Just having a tipple or two now.

Where has Fozz's bookies gone? Will stick a tenner on the 71 not staying in its current guise beyond the summer!

It is dying a slow death out there.

A selection of Cobalt Clipper B9s that I've checked would indicate that all appear to be all taxed. The two red spares for the Fab Fifty Six don't exist on the enquiry system though, so I'd assume they're not.

You can check here if anyone is interested.
