It seems, from DaveyBowyer's updates, that Percy Main is the main target. I trust Riverside are doing the same?
I would argue that GNE should trial this sort of thing on their most important routes (cough cough 21), but then again it could be due to some fault on the mechanical and electrical side of the vehicles that seem to be having them removed.
Perhaps the Cobalts are having late teething troubles
As I said above, vehicles in the North Divisional depots (Riverside, Percy Main and Hexham) appear to be having them removed, whereas the ones in the South Division aren't.
