These units are formed of 2, 3 and 4 carriages but often operate in multiple in up to 8 carriage formations. The class 168 are currently being fully refurbished.

These will reintroduce first class to Chiltern and will replace the older Mark 3 carriages. Chiltern have previously operated class 121 single carriage bubble car/railcar units, class 172 Turbostar (move to West Midlands Trains), class 67 locomotives with Mark 3 carriages and an additional Mark 3 rake of carriages. The train fleet information is correct as possible as of August 2025 and future train fleet dates are based for the planned introduction for passenger services.
