Hi. We're travelling with Chiltern on Saturday & RTT says it's a class 68 & stock. Is Business Class still a thing, and if not, can you just sit in there without paying any extra?

Antimaccasars were removed last year.No, though removing the antimacassars seems to be too much effort so it looks like it is, which means it's a bit of an exclusive club of those who know!
Yes.
It still has the Business Zone stickers on the walls inside, and the seating is the same as it was, but it's ordinary standard accommodation so no extra is payable. (It was great the other day as my brother and I had half a carriage to ourselves on it all the way from Moor Street to Marylebone)Hi.

Excellent. I'll join the club!No, though removing the antimacassars seems to be too much effort so it looks like it is, which means it's a bit of an exclusive club of those who know!

That could be how they were removed!(Also slightly surprised enthusiasts didn't nick them as souvenirs )
Chiltern "temporarily" declassified the Business Zone during the pandemic. That doesn't mean they won't start charging for it again at some point, however. (If they get the ex-TPE Mk5A coaches, for example, given they have a First Class carriage in the formation.)
