    In the last few weeks I've seen several W & S trains (67 + coaches + DVT) stabled at Aylesbury TMD. Loco's have included 67013 and 67015. Anyone know why they are there? For servicing? or repair? And if it's to become a regular event anyone any information of ECS diagrams?

    As of last December Chiltern Railways took over the maintenance of the WSMR stock, to this end light maintenance/servicing is carried out at Wembley, I would assume a visit to Aylesbury would entail either something a little more complicated or a visit to the wheel lathe.

    Yes, Chiltern and 50% of London Overground and WSMR are part of the DB Regio division whereas the former EWS is owned by the DB Schenker division. DB Regio are currently bidding for the Tyne & Wear Metro as well.
