TfW▸ (Transport for Wales) have issued a Press release that the 756s enter service from 18 Nov

They will enter passenger service first on the Merthyr and Aberdare lines, followed by the Treherbert line. In a phased introduction, they will replace TfW’s older trains, with fourteen set to be in service by Spring next year (2025). 

hese trains will be introduced over the coming months onto the Merthyr, Aberdare and Treherbert lines, replacing older trains, with 14 units in total in service by Spring 2025. 

These trains will run along these lines until late 2025 when they will begin to move over to the Rhymney and Vale of Glamorgan lines as the brand-new Tram-Trains enter passenger service.  

From then, the 756s will travel from Coryton and Caerphilly to Penarth, and from Rhymney to Barry Island and Bridgend.

756107 and 116 entered service last Friday. Great units that have certainly gotten praise from the customers.  I'm sure tfw do have an option to order additional units if they wish in the future I know a batch was proposed as part of the additional services to Gloucester and Bristol TM▸ (Train Manager, or possibly Ticket Machine, depending on context)
