Here is my solution. Hope it helps.
let Source = data, #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "RouteSplit", each Text.Split([Route], "/")), #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Types", each List.Transform([RouteSplit], each Text.BeforeDelimiter(_, "_"))), #"Added Custom2" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom1", "New Types", each if List.Contains([Types], "GR.A FM") then List.Transform([Types], each if _ = "GR" then "GR LM" else _) else let _firstGR = List.PositionOf([Types], "GR") in if _firstGR = -1 then [Types] else List.ReplaceValue(List.ReplaceRange([Types], _firstGR, 1, {"GR FM"}), "GR", "GR LM", Replacer.ReplaceValue)), #"Added Custom3" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom2", "Route Mapped", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(List.Zip({[New Types],List.Transform([RouteSplit], each Text.AfterDelimiter(_, "_"))}), each Text.Combine(_, "_")), "/")), #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Added Custom3",{"Index", "Route", "Route Mapped"}) in #"Removed Other Columns"Best Regards,

You could refer to Let - PowerQuery M | Microsoft Learn
In this case, I defined a variable _firstGR to get the position of the first "GR" in [Types] list, then used it in the expression to return. It is used at more than one place, so I define it as a variable to avoid evalulating it multiple times. This is my habit. In fact, in your case, the "let ... in" is not a must. You may have a try that if you modify this part into below, it also works as expected.
