There have been some route learning and sandite units about the place (at Aylesbury mainly it seems) in recent years and both Chiltern Railways and Arriva Trains Wales have used a 121 on a near daily basis.

This 121 has recently passed into preservation I think...

I think I'm right in saying that those two class 121's are the only first generation DMU's left on the network.

I was lucky to witness the final 101s in use in cheshire, which was one of the last locations if not the last to use them. Still miss them. Old they were getting by railway standards, but by comparison to the 142 rubbish that replaced them they were wonderful. Some were painted in BR green, but Im not too sure about blue and grey.

Wish they were still here.

They are the only ones in passenger use, but I can't say for route learning and Network Rail use.
