Chiltern MK3 PRR-MYB diagrams?

[GerritJan]

Hey, I have a question. I don't know if I'm in the rightplace, I am from the Netherlands, so please don't mind me if I don't ask this on the right area on this website.

I have seen today on RTT that the Chiltern MK3 are still working, today it was from PRR-MYB 2 returns. I did read somewhere on Facebook that they are only running now at tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Does someone know if the times on Wednesday are also for the next week 4 march?

PRR 07:21 - MYB 08:07
PRR 07:46 - MYB 08:38

I'm going to the UK this Friday and want to catch before my Eurostar departs on 4 march, the MK3 coaches with the BR DVT 82. Since I don't have that side of the train on the picture.

shows Tuesday to Thursday only for 07:21

if you have time, get a train one stop out to Wembley Stadium and sit on the left in direction of travel, you may spot a few in the depot sidings .

Actually,
Both the 0721 and 0746 departures from Princess Risborough are booked Mk3+68, if you're wanting to travel on board.

0721 is diagram 4.
0746 is diagram 3.

Thanks for the answers, the diagram (3/4) will be valid untill the end of march?

For now, only.
No one really knows when the mk5s will be swapped in, but it's going to be very shortly.
Next week they will be mk3s.

Will miss these when they are gone, but time marches on.

If I recall correctly, the Mark V Sets are one coach shorter. That is going to be noticed on the PRR commuter diagrams which in my (albeit occasional) experience are often full and standing after their last station call southbound in the morning.

I wonder if these PRR commuter runs will continue after the increase in frequency to Birmingham. I have no knowledge but guess if they do survive they might be turned over to 165 turbos.

Will be interesting to see if there's any takeup of First Class on these, the £20 each way upgrade is reasonable from Birmingham, less so from Princes Risborough and south thereof!
Hopefully common sense will prevail and they'll either be declassified, or a reduced upgrade price offered.

Alternatively, Chiltern don't want First Class filled up with short-distance travellers, as it prevents someone travelling between London and the West Midlands from using the space.

Granted that doesn't apply for the Princes Risborough to/from Marylebone runs, however.

And that person would most likely be using Avanti for the speed.
