They still have booked all-day work on the Southport line. Six diagrams (three paired formations) on this route, one of which misses two Hunts Cross return trips between the peaks. Workings are the 07.42, 07.57 and 08.12 Southport - Hunts Cross and 08.51, 09.06 and 09.21 Hunts X - Southport...

Both 507003 and 507007 remain on the same Wirral Line routes today. 007 is charged with the 17.12 Ellesmere Port circuit at present, whilst 003 is forming 17.21 from West Kirby. 007 is a fantastic set as well; I recommend a ride if you're able. The same three pairs as yesterday are out on the...

I really don't think so. There are still multiple failures of 777s on a daily basis due to faults. A cursory glance of Merseyrail's Twitter feed betrays this fact, and some early morning and late evening failures are not even shown on there. Things are a tad better but it's glacial progress in...

The Northern Line 507s this evening are 001 + 015, 028 + 029 (brilliant pairing) and 023 + 033, forming the 18.51, 19.06 and 19.21 Hunts Cross - Southport services respectively.

Well, 37884 has just passed through Bidston but minus any 507s! Looks like 014 and 021 live on a little longer. Two 507s in service on the Wirral Line today: 507007 is off to work the Chester line from West Kirby as 5B00 at present and should form the 07.22 Chester - Liverpool Central service...

507017 has replaced the errant 033, starting with the 12.27 from Southport. With 033 one of the next ones to go, if it has a major fault, it will be done.

I doubt they will bother with only a couple of months left, although 001's was surprisingly fixed in coach 64367 recently. 016 is also a notably troublesome set amongst the remaining 507s unfortunately. 028's rheostatic was never broken as such, just manually turned off by the driver the last...

The service cancelled was the 11.21 Hunts X - Southport and 507033 is the offender. What an awful riding unit it is as well I'm afraid, sounding fit to drop. 507028 is in charge of the subsequent service, the 11.51 and it is superb. Rheostatic in full voice, no squeaks and smooth riding...

That mention of 018 in the earlier post is just a typo; this unit hasn't been out since early April. The three Southport formations yesterday were, in order: 003+017, 015+029 and 016+028. Today 003+017 are in the sidings at Southport. Still unmoved is 011, which will likely only run in service...

Should be, yep. Also, it looks like both 014 and 021 were retired at the weekend. 014 last worked on Saturday night on the Ormskirk line (paired with 016), whilst 021 bowed out after one final stint on the Southport line on Sunday.

There is a third booked 507 diagram on the Southport line which misses a couple of trips between the peaks. It usually resumes with the 15.27 Southport - Hunts Cross service.

Evening all. Hoping for the units working the following services yesterday evening, Sunday 14/04 please: 2U68 2227 Southport - Hunts Cross 2U70 2257 Southport - Hunts Cross 2G00 2318 Southport - Liverpool Central 2S68 2236 Hunts Cross - Southport 2S70 2306 Hunts Cross - Southport 2S71 2338...

The last ones were Boxing Day on the New Brighton line. The formations were 507004 + 011 and 507016 + 031.

One for the connoisseurs here, but 507001's rheostatic braking is back on in coach 64367 and it sounds superb. It is currently working the 12.45 from Chester. Nice loud motors in this carriage, too!

Yes, on the 400 series website: http://www.400series.co.uk/313201-2/.

Not a museum, but Merseyside Fire & Rescue are to receive at least two driving carriages of a Class 507. 507015 reportedly is/was earmarked for this purpose and if so, it definitely won't be leaving with 011. As for 021, it is another set running low on mileage and of the 15 left, the longest...

Those of us who contribute towards the running costs of 313201 were able to visit Eastleigh today for a spin in the unit. The unit is looking very commendably clean and running nicely too, albeit at low speed. There were plenty of photo opportunities and all who attended got the chance to drive...

The Ormskirk line lates are in the hands of 507001 + 010 (2017 Liv Cen - Ormskirk), 507021 + 023 (2047) and 507014 + 016 (2117) tonight. 021 and 023 are due to work the last service of the evening, the 23.47 from Central. There is surely an outside chance this will be the final revenue-earning...

No, it is still around but currently out of traffic at Southport awaiting the wheel lathe.

Yes, the full range is available from other ticket offices. I had no problem buying the £5.95 all zone day saver from my local station on Thursday or Friday.
