Chiltern Bubble

[323235]

Can Anyone tell me what the diagram is for the Chiltern Bubblecar?
Does it do the 1724 Aylesbury - Princes Risborough

Thanks

Not sure, thought the class 121 was only used during the morning peak now?

then again with chiltern taking over operation of the Oxford - Bicester town line from may maybe the classs 121 would be in use most of the day perhaps?

Yes - only used in the morning at the moment

I do think it would be nice to add a few diagrams for the bubblecar on Saturdays and mark it in the timetable so people can ride it if they want to rather than have a nice 'heritage' train sitting in the sidings except a few runs in the morning rush hour where people won't usually use it (commuters from Monks Risborough or Little Kimble would probably aim to use a through service to Marylebone).

I doubt if it would cover the cost of providing the necessary guard.

What is the logic behind the bubblecar needing a guard when longer 165/168 class do not over the same track?
