If I was put in charge of SWR, I would try to press the 701s into service asap once the more major issues have been rectified and fix the minor ones over time. The 458 conversions will also go ahead with the 450s relegated to shorter distance operations and the ex-460 coaches may also be salvaged and maybe even given to Southern or the like if possible.
For GWR, I would wait for TfW to retire their 158s in order to retrieve them and/or their 175s if necessary to allow the 16xs to replace the 150s on the Cornwall branch lines. (Idea stolen from GWVillager)
For TPE, I might do the above instead as well as hire more staff, obviously.
What do you think?
