5 months to get the 769s ready, training started and in to operational service is creeping by very fast already, with little sign of progression happening yet.
Same with the 230s which will free up up to 3 units currently on Bidston and conwy lines (when the latter is actually open!)
As stated the 153s arent all in service yet, with PRM and cab mode happening. The latter seems to have progressed though as most of the newer arrivals have started to go in service but theres still at least 5 in for various mods.
I'm not sure of the exact number left but I would've thought most of the 150s would have had their PRM mods completed by the end of July, which will ease the pressure.
What remains to be seen is if TfW will extend delegations on specific Pacer units or get delegations for all units but only plan to use a certain amount in service at any one time.
