Chiltern Loco-Hauled Services
From the start of the winter timetable, 13th December 2010, Chiltern Railways commenced a few services operated by Loco Hauled Coaching Stock (LHCS), though prior to this were several trains that stood in for unavailable 168 units or ran for timing trials, also test trains for clearances etc. Initially, one train was provided by Wrexham & Shropshire as part of its normal diagram, and the other train was operated by Chiltern with a rather scratch set of stock. Since the demise of WSMR, more stock and locos have become available and the set from Birmingham strengthened to five coaches. It seems more LHCS services will be introduced from the new timetable starting in May 2011, and associated training runs have been taking place between Bicester, Banbury, Birmingham Moor Street and Stourbridge.

Another unusual working by Chiltern along the WCML! 67012 "A Shropshire Lad" is leading 67015 "David J. Lloyd" and DVT 82301 north along the down slow line at Cheddington. This was 5Z67, the 10:40 from Willesden TMD to Crewe IEMD where 67015 was to be dropped off for repairs after its failure the week before. 67012 was then to continue to Brush Loughborough to drop off 82301 which is to have an ETS generator fitted. 11:23, Monday 15th August 2011.
