Class 769s

« 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

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&T^▸ has been altered on Platform 1 at Bourne End
