From an internal memo sent by a friend who works there (Wirral Line):
" Due to Aintree week starting Monday 8th April, there is a full 777 service on all circuits. All job numbers remain the same however some content and turn lengths will be marked as ADDL on the daily sheet. Please check with RC accordingly for any changes to your diagrams."

Apologies if it appears elsewhere in this thread, but is there a confirmed final day in service for the 507s?
2N01 and 2N02 are both 507s this morning.
That's what we like to hear!

Six car, I hope.
A straight answer is currently no unless someone in the 'back office' knows and has not released the possible date. Also still 10 Class 777's to arrive in Merseyside yet with three of them still abroad, so I think they need to arrive before the last of the Class 507's are seen off!
No, these are two separate three-car workings. No call for six-cars on the New Brighton Line.

Great, so pretty certain to be able to ride on some on 22nd April.
Thanks for that. Could you and/or anyone else, at some point before 10am tomorrow morning, provide me with tomorrow's allocations for the remaining 507s please?

Update to above.
507003 and 507016 have been split from each other.
507016 (solo) is currently on 1542 ex Southport, and should continue with 1651 ex Hunts Cross, 1812 ex Southport etc.
507003 (solo) is at Southport expected to work 1557 ex Southport, 1706 ex Hunts Cross, 1827 ex Southport etc - i.e. the diagram behind 507016.

Just heard a 507 move through Crewe (heard a 37, saw a 507), any idea of what/where
Presumably this, 5Q88 from Crewe South Yard to Sims:
Realtime Trains | 5Q88 0730 Crewe South Yard to Newport Docks (Simsgroup) | 10/04/2024
Real-time train running information for 5Q88 0730 departure from Crewe South Yard to Newport Docks (Simsgroup) on 10/04/2024. From Realtime Trains, an independent source of train running info for Great Britain.
www.realtimetrains.co.uk
Picture posted on Mersey Railways 2.0 Facebook group shows 37800 running round at Crewe. It will be the units that moved from Birkenhead North to Crewe just before Easter, I think?

Now on a rattly 507 heading for Southport
Edit: just figured out to be 010 or 015, the rear unit heading toward Southport

015 is the rear unit and is definitely not one of the better ones left. 010 isn't too bad.

I don’t know, 2 consists are in the sidings, front of 1 is 021 I believe (will check on my way out) although it is possible it and 011 are there or maybe just 011, I deducted 011 from a photo at the end of the day
