Are there any booked Southport diagrams with 507s on Saturdays?

Thanks @Cowley Europhoenix has posted some images on Meta-book of 91117 undergoing a repaint and stated the following: I assume this has something to do with High Speed testing of ETCS on ECMLS?

Many thanks!

Thanks, the gates were in use but had no stickers to say how to use them. The staff didn't seem too concerned that they were open and didnt close them whilst I was there. There are still a few peak time 387s that use those platforms (1708 and 1739) hence why I was a bit confused that they...

Since when has this station had platform barriers in the middle of the island? It looks like a newer installation but all the gates are locked open. Can anyone shed any light on this?

I suspect the Alstom engagement is the most telling evidence of where the stock will come from..

Indeed, they swap to the slows at Dolphin Junction (Slough)
