Hi all
2 quick questions:
1. When are the class 769s entering into service?
2. What routes will they enter service on?

Thanks

Mark Hopwood told the MMPA AGM (Annual General Meeting) 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.
