Chiltern Railways are the last TOC in the UK to operate a first generation DMU in regular passenger service. 121020 is used on the Princes Risborough to Aylesbury shuttle service which enabled Chiltern to free up class 165 "Networker" units for busier services into London Marylebone. The unit has been substantially refurbished with new moquette, dot matrix blinds and central door locking however it also retains that traditional Leyland engine which still puts a smile on my face. This to me shows that with a small investment ( a lot less then a new train) you can give an old workhorse a new lease of life .
The unit currently works the following diagram (please note that a Class 165 MAY substitute if the unit is not available
