Class 175's for Chiltern Railways?

[Mitchell Hurd]

There's a similar Chiltern Turbo future thread so I thought it's best to start a new one but continue the discussion.

Chiltern could do with the 175's much more than GWR and are looking for a suitable replacement for the Mark 3's.

They'd be ideal replacements as these have end doors, bigger engines than the 168's and the top speed is 100mph.

I can't see anything wrong with that.

It’s been done to death and there is a lot of speculation on the 175’s future in this thread:

Class 175 future speculation

I thought I'd make a thread to discuss/post ideas or rumours about where the 175 fleet will end up after they leave TfW. Will the fleet be split between operators? Will it be to one or more of the rumoured suspects (EWR, Northern, GWR, ScotRail, Chiltern, Cross Country), or any other TOC you...
