How about Banbury, for mk5 also, also considering the move to Bletchley from Banbury for East West rail operations, Chiltern from a few good sources, I have been told, has a good amount of surplus drivers soon, from the latest original recruitment for East and West with Banbury being the original depot.The current locos appear to live in Stourbridge, this depot would probably accommodate the result of this selection.
Banbury stabling sidings has plenty of surplus space around the side, put the two together, mk5 need work, surplus drivers need to do something ideal.
Plus ideal for Banbury to London Marylebone.
Covering first and Last services to London Marylebone to tie in with the vast majority of services which need to be covered from workings from London Marylebone to Birmingham Moor Street etc.
Plus recruitment a few guards at Banbury, In particular as well. Can even cover first and last Services Banbury to Birmingham Moor Street
Yet another result could this also be achieved this, way by also as well as using Stourbridge Junction like now for mk3 and Wembley mk3 also. but with Mk5 Replacement. and crewed same way. But Obviously with Banbury Drivers and guards becoming major key players.
Also Banbury depot is quite a way away from Houses.
