Why does the plug sockets work on 6301-6307 (well a lot of them) but on the streetlites not a single plug socket works

Been like that for weeks now.

Hopefully RF doesn't see it!

Not much reference to it in her twitter feed, but I don't think she was keen on the announcements nor the broken on-board features.
She did say it was posh though!

She was more bothered by the Arriva X18 no show.

I agree regarding the pointless table lights. They don't actually have any benefit, but the announcements serve a purpose. Easy enough to stick some headphones on id you don't want to listen to them.

Also surprised to see so many of the fleet brought in for metro flow, some even after repaint don’t appear to be in service for months, or are they on faith school contracts which don’t track, or is the massive influx of new vehicles requiring PSV just too much to cope with on top of keep the rest of the fleet on the road?
