Chiltern Railways Mark 5A coaching stock

[68 010]

Does anyone have any idea of when the next Mark 5A set would be delivered to Chiltern Railways?

I know former TP12 set was delivered last Friday (08/08/25) with 68 022.

Many thanks
Ben

Chiltern MK5s Starting 2026 (non speculative updates thread)

Chiltern have now announced this publicly. Notably it seems 1st is being retained as a paid-for upgrade, which is surprising given that they abandoned that with the Mk3s. I'm surprised they don't reseat that coach to Standard to up capacity. I suspect this also confirms they will have guards...
