Sunday’s Greater Anglia transfer means half of operators now publicly owned This Sunday (12 October), Greater Anglia’s services will transfer into public ownership under Great British Railways (GBR).

#DVTTuesday While the #ChilternRailways 68s will see other work after the introduction of the mk5 sets, i guess it will be the end of the road for the mk3 DVTs, AKA the hellfire #Class82 😉
Here's 82304 at Birmingham Moor Street & Banbury & 82305 at Leamington Spa all on 11/9/25

Some Moor Street shots, possibly the last time i snap a silver 68 with mk3s here depending on the timescale for the mk5 replacements. 68015 'Kev Helmer' was our ride from Leamington Spa to Birmingham & back recently on 1R21/1H45. #ChilternRailways #Class68 11/9/25

#Caturday 🐱 9 days ago #chilternrailways 1H45 12.45 Birmingham Moor Street to London Marylebone departs from Leamington Spa with 68015 'Kev Helmer' providing the push to the capital. It seems the days are numbered for the mk3 sets with ex TPE mk5 sets now on FFR workings. 11/9/25

#OneSixEightWednesday The first numbered of the class, a smart looking #chilternrailways 168001, which carries the name 'Adrian Shooter CBE' seen at Banbury & Leamington Spa last Thursday working #ChilternMainline services. 11/9/25

#SixtyEightSunday I think this is what's termed a record shot! All i could get from a passing train as we saw former #TPE loco 68023 with a mk5 set at Longsight TMD, Manchester. I guess this will be heading south soon for #ChilternRailways FFR and acceptance.. #Class68 12/9/25
