A quick slap-and-dash transcript of the relevant parts of the video for the regional fleet:
Julian Edwards said:We'll see a significant uplift in Turbostar class 170 units in both two- and three-car formations. There'll be no longer any line served by just one-car trains, so as early as this December when the 156s come across from a sister company we'll have minimum two-car operation on all of our lines.
...
the 170s start coming in mid-2020 so that we uplift the regional fleet pretty quickly.
...
we'll probably want to save one or two small fleets of 153 to give us some flexibility before the two- and three-car formation 170s join us; they won't be running on their own, they'll be bolted to PRM-compliant 156s.
