Just to cheer everyone up there are pictures on RailAdventure GmbH Aktuelle Sichtung of another three 777s on their way through Weidenthal this afternoon, no unit IDs viewable though
As much as I am no fan of the current government, they can't be blamed for the way Merseyrail is at the moment.

Only to be expected. Could be more for Long Marston?

What was the failure? Mechanical fault or just a door problem?

What is a commode? A sort of guard cabin?
I tried googling it (and other search engines) many different ways, but because of Americanisation, trying to search the word "commode" only brought up toilets...
Bloody yanks.
That's right - a commode is a chair that is fitted with a potty.

Just did Liverpool South Parkway to Southport on 777 030. Thankfully without incident, although it pulled into Southport one carriage length short of the buffers - apparently the platform (3) isn't level so they can't come in all the way.
Lots of work going on at Southport, wonder how much of it is 777 related.

What diagrams are most likely to have a 777 on them? last part of the network ive not rode on one yet as I did the New Brighton branch on a 777 last week
Is that another euphemism like 'one sandwich short of a picnic'?

Haha love it. Perhaps we've just invented one for the rail industry.
Four of the ten diagrams. Heading north it is headcodes ending 7/8/9/0, e.g. 2S17, 2S18, 2S19, 2S20. Each diagram takes 2.5 hours to do a round trip.

Mechanical, the conductor shoes wouldn't raise. Driver tried a full reset and this didn't work.

Scratches head.... Is it too difficult to get a path direct from Wembley to Long Marston ?.

Does seem a little odd, the only thing I can think is that 3 sets plus barriers won't fit into Long Marston in one go?

Well reported above as seeing 3 units on the rail cams and there isn't any other 777s at Walton so must be the case
Definitely seems strange to rail them up to Warrington first though but I am sure there is a good reason for it
He does not do Merseyrail diagrams / allocations with the exception of No 507001.
