"If they take on the 769s"?
There is no if about it, they have been ordered. And when they enter service the clear and stated aim is to move more Turbos west.
There is a programme of route clearance for Turbos laid out in the Network Rail enhancements delivery plan - all due to be completed by the end of this year.
It is set out in eight 'groups' of a line/or lines to be cleared.
We appear to be up to Group 5 now, which is Southampton to Portsmouth. Group 6 is Portsmouth to Brighton, with Groups 7 and 8 being assorted routes around Exeter (including Exmouth and Barnstaple, but not Axminster) and Plymouth (including Gunnislake), plus the main line to Penzance and the St Ives branch (but not Falmouth).
There is no indication that the work to at least achieve clearance in the West Country will not be finished this year, even if no Turbos are seen west of Taunton in regular service until 769s start to appear in the Thames Valley.
