I noticed 8 car stop signs have gone up around the Merseyrail network. Obviously for the new class 777s. But I was wondering why they are on striped boards rather than the fairly straightforward smaller ones showing 3,4 and 6 car stopping points.

Does anyone know of a handy way to track the movements of a particular train? I fancy going to look at merseyrail 507001 and wondered if there’s a way to know where that particular train is at a particular time.
