Class 769s entering service

« on: June 05, 2021, 20:09:45 »

Hi all,

I have come across a one or two class 769s operating on the Rhymney valley lines. Can anybody tell me when they will all be in service?

They have been operating since November and from the May Timetable there should be 6 in service per day but with their terrible availability and failure record sometimes only one might turn out

Does anyone know why the 769s are so unreliable?
