Vossloh class 68 No. 68012, one of five on hire from DRS to replace the DBS Class 67's on Chiltern Railways loco-hauled services from London Marylebone to the West Midlands, waits to depart from London Marylebone with 1U61, the 17:50 to Banbury, on 15th December 2014. This was the first class 68-hauled passenger train to depart from Marylebone, with the first appearance of the class being earlier in the day, when the same locomotive arrived with 1H20, the 07:44 from Banbury. The class will initially only work the Banbury set, but will enter full service in early 2015.
