The Class 68 never fails to impress me with the beast sound. Plus finally seeing the MK5A in Chiltern livery with my own eyes.

First photo of 2026, and it’s one of my favourite classes! DRS 68004 ‘Rapid’ stands in the sidings at York where it celebrated the new year on its own! It could do with a bit of TLC on those vinyls.

September 2017, and 68021 ‘Tireless’ is pictured undergoing commissioning tests at Crewe following modifications to permit work with the Mk5 coaches. Amazing days, and proud to have been involved.

68034 ‘Rail Riders’ brings that wonderful Caterpillar soundtrack back to Platform 16 at Leeds. A bitter reminder of the amazing job satisfaction these provided.
Wonderful to see the Mk5 press launch shots yesterday for Chiltern; you have chosen well.

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
