Chiltern class 68 Sunday roster

[peteb]

I noticed yesterday's (Sunday Only) 1030am Kidderminster to Marylebone was 68 hauled vice a unit. Does anyone know if this is a regular occurrence? The preceding 10am departure is booked for 68 haulage, but I wonder if they've swapped the diagrams?

Both of those trains have been booked for class 68s for several months now.

Thanks Mark, I usually hear one or the other but I honestly haven't heard both on the same day. That's good news both are 68 hauled, much more comfortable if travelling all the way to London from Kiddy

There was also an amended timetable on Sunday due to the Caraboa Cup (aka League Cup) Final at Wembley. It also saw a loco-hauled set working an additional Marylebone - Princes Risborough (and return) service.

Both todays 10am and 1030am Chiltern services from Kidderminster 68 hauled,with additional stop at Wembley. 1030am supposed to be a unit from now on according to RTT.

Well, that killed off the rumour that the LHCS services where to go with the timetable change.

That self same rumour has now extended itself to September…

Well, that killed off the rumour that the LHCS services where to go with the timetable change.

The rumour for some time has been that they go after the Commonwealth Games are held in Birmingham, not at today's timetable change. The games finish on Monday 8 August, which could mean any time between then and the September timetable change.

I’d heard 21st August from somewhere (can’t remember where), anyone also heard this?

Also, on their last day, would they be working the usual diagrams? If so, what would that be on a Sunday?
