Title: Class 769s
Post by: GWR 158 on September 25, 2021, 16:47:39
Hi all
2 quick questions:
1. When are the class 769s entering into service?
2. What routes will they enter service on?

Thanks
GWR 158

Mark Hopwood told the MMPA AGM last night that he expected them in service ‘by Christmas (this year) and Bourne End/Marlow branch ‘could expect a visit’ - but no further details of routes expect the Gatwick/Reading route.

Not sure they will get one to Marlow from Bourne End, unless the S&C has been altered on Platform 1 at Bourne End
