Chiltern Mk3’s & DVT for Storage | Chiltern Mk5’s Make Their Mark & Defiance Heads To Wembley!
The video begins with 68015 leading a Chiltern Railways silver set working 5D03 10:52 Wembley LMD to Burton OT W Yard (Maurice), driven by Hanson & Hall. With the classic Chiltern Mk3 sets now approaching the end of their time on the network, these workings are becoming increasingly historic as they are steadily replaced by Chiltern’s new Mk5 coaching stock.
Also featured are several Class 68 locomotives working the new Chiltern Mk5 sets, along with additional freight traction passing through the station during the day.
The heritage highlight of the video sees 50049 Defiance passing through Banbury working 0H50 11:52 Kidderminster SVR to Wembley Receptions (1–7), positioning ahead of a railtour taking place later in the weekend.
A great mix of modern diesel traction, the final days of Chiltern’s Mk3 sets, and a classic heritage locomotive on the move.
