He may be a DBS driver but the unit is owned by Network Rail.

If the DRS 68's are going to take over the Chiltern work in the near future , DBS are going to have some Class 67's available for new work , but is there any more work available at the moment for them ?

Gives Scotrail (Sleepers and Fife workings) and Arriva Trains Wales a bit of flexibility in case of a loco failure. East Coast also use them for the static "Thunderbird" duties on the ECML.

The problem has never really about having enough locomotives, it's always a lack of suitable carriages for them to haul!
