Chiltern can't get any off lease stock, there isn't any and the 185s don't seem to be leaving too quickly.
They are at the end of their franchise and won't invest any more, the best thing is new stock to allow the current 168s plus a few 170s, which hopefully will come from XC if XC get new stock, to operate turbo services then the turbos can go to GWR.
