Does anyone know the latest diagrams for Chiltern's bubble car between Aylesbury and Princess Risborough? As the ones on the frequently requested thread state valid until October 3rd.

As of this week they are unchanged from the pre-October 3rd diagrams. However, the Chiltern timetable is recast from next week for the new Oxford service and the bubble car diagram is changed. Unfortunately I don't have the new diagrams to hand but I'll post them as soon as I get them unless someone beats me to it. As I understand it there will be an additional return working in the evening in the new timetable.

121020 is currently at Tyseley having an F exam so there is only one bubble car at the moment which means it is occasionally prone to 165 substitution when 121034 fails. When 121020 returns this will become rare again. Incidentally, I'm told 121020 might be a different colour when it returns..

As I understand it, the train is booked to start with the 17:00 PRR to Aylesbury,
and works through to the 19:30 PRR to Aylesbury, so two and a half trips in total!

[blatant plug]FMonline features a Princes Risborough timetable, listing freight,
loco-hauled passenger trains and the bubble car!! :D [/blatant plug]

The new Chiltern timetable conveniently highlights the "bubble" (and the slamdoor loco-hauled set) as "Heritage" trains.

0719 Princes Risborough - Aylesbury (arr 0737)
0823 Princes Risborough - Aylesbury (arr 0841)
0916 Princes Risborough - Aylesbury (arr 0934)
1700 Princes Risborough - Aylesbury (arr 1718)
1804 Princes Risborough - Aylesbury (arr 1821)
1930 Princes Risborough - Aylesbury (arr 1948)

0746 Aylesbury - Princes Risborough (arr 0805)
0849 Aylesbury - Princes Risborough (arr 0908)
1726 Aylesbury - Princes Risborough (arr 1747)

As far as I am aware, the new Bubble car diagram is as follows:

http://www.wnxxforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=9033
07:19 PRR - AYS 07:37
07:46 AYS - PRR 08:05
08:23 PRR - AYS 08:41
08:49 AYS - PRR 09:08
09:16 PRR - AYS 09:34
17:00 PRR - AYS 17:18
17:26 AYS - PRR 17:47
18:04 PRR - AYS 18:21
18:26 AYS - PRR 18:47
19:30 PRR - AYS 19:48

They should be labeled as "H" for Heritage trains in the new Chiltern timetable, along with the Banbury Commuter set.

Adam :D


EDIT: Beaten to it :P

The Thread should be updated this weekend.
