So with the bubble car about to disappear from Chiltern shortly I thought that I would pop over to cover that and some of their diagrams on the 165s, 168s etc as well as I am most certainly an EBM where Chiltern are concerned. However upon looking at their services there does not seem a decent place for bashing the units. For example I looked at Marylebone to Haddenham services but they only have an hourly all shacks 'ish' services. There does seem to be more services to High Wycombe. But the ultimate question is where is really the best place for bashing Chiltern units on any part of their network be it London, Bucks or West Midlands? Would it be High Wycombe - Beaconsfield or maybe even Gerrards Cross? Birmingham Moor Street - Leamington Spa? And also on top of all of this what tickets would people use as there does not seem to be a rover ticket that I can find for Chiltern at all. The only ticket that I could find to be used on Chiltern is the West Midland day tripper ticket and obviously this would not be able to be used south of Solihull I believe or maybe Leamington Spa with some sort of add on. Any help would be gratefully received. Many thanks.

168s using that West Midlands ticket with the Leamington Spa add-on, London travelcard for those 165s, probably a 1-9 would be better to focus north of harrow on the hill, plus the hourly Ruislips

I was lucky, I did much Chiltern bashing on a Great Escape-style ticket a few years ago. Still some shacks awaiting clearing and a ton of MUs, but all in good time...

Kite's advice is about as good as I could offer.
