Chiltern Trains DMU @ Kingsbury.

[Kingsbury Jn.]

Hi! Just spotted an 2-car Chiltern Trains DMU (possibly a 165) passing through Kingsbury towards Tamworth, at about 16.31. It was moving quite slowly but was well hidden due to the dense foiliage along the line where I live. I assume it is off for service/repair but would appreciate more info please.

That'll be a 172/1 on trial from Derby won't it?

Oh, I see. Do they not have the corridor connectors similar to the new London Midland 172's? This train was similar to a 170 at the front & back.

Chiltern's 172s do not have gangway corridors at the cab.

That's the one! Only got a quick glimpse of it as it disappeared into the undergrowth! Many thanks to you all!
