Are there any passenger services - sorry trains! - still hauled by a good old fashioned locomotive?

Or have locomotives and coaches all now been replaced by multiple units? (Leaving locos purely for freight.)

In which case, where and when was the last loco hauled passenger train?

What's it called? It's called Cumbernauld
Both the Scotland and Cornwall sleepers are still loco hauled.

Also, there are still a few Class 91s on the London Kings Cross - Leeds, and TPE have Class 68s hauling their new Mk V stock.

I am unsure if Chiltern are still using Class 68s, and if Wales are using 37s on the ex Rhymney Railway (Rhymney - Penarth). Also, it is intended for Wales to have Class 67s hauling some of the former InterCity East Coast Mk IV sets.
