Never been on Chiltern but which train out of the 68's, 165's and 168's which is your favourite to travel on?

I've been on 3 168s
No 165s

The 68 s are good but squeak going out of moor St a bit
168 are like Turbostar 170s

The "squeak" comes from the Push Pull locos

Explanation there

The Funny sounding Enviro 400

15 Wolverhampton to Merry Hill
15A Wolverhampton Merry Hill
16 Wolverhampton to Stourbridge

X10 Gornal Wood

Trident 4194

The London midland 323s squeak a lot

My favourite is the 68 and that is why I have had all of 68008-68015 quite a few times. Chiltern also have 4 172s and are getting some 170s from Transpennine Express which are for the London-Oxford services.

TP DMU's 170301-303/305/309 are at Brush Loughborough at the moment being made suitable for use by Chiltern. They are being made compatible with Chiltern's Class 168's and will probably renumbered as 168/3's.
