One of the motor cars has been making a loud popping noise pulling away from every station for several weeks. It's the same sound as when the driver shuts off power at low speed.Just had what's likely to be my final ride on my namesake unit, which was on the xx:53 departures from New Brighton. A bit jolty when getting underway, but lovely and warm as always.
3 x 507's on the New Brighton circuit including 507001 on the xx38 New Brighton departure.Morning all,
Heading up to Liverpool for a second time to bash the 507s, any advice for what services are PEPs/777s today?
507001 currently at New Brighton, next departure 13.38 - forgot they miss out a couple of xx38 diagrams during the day. 507028 on the xx53 circuit, 507018 also noted stabled.Legend thank you so much! Will be after 001 very shortly!
507002 hasn't long come off some pretty hefty maintenance to get it back in service. I think it only managed a few diagrams (if that) so that was money well spent5Q78 37884 507030/002 dep 0600
I updated my records on both of these on 01/02/24 to indicate in storage and there has been no change that I have heard of since.Are 507013 and 507032 still around? I have them down as withdrawn, but it may be a mistake in my records.

Considering there wasn't going to be any more scrap moves until after the Grand National, I wonder whether these two will get a reprieve now 2 more have gone to Sims?
So you're saying I am being slightly optimistic in my hope of them returning to traffic then?507013/032 went to Newport on February 19th.
The units longest since overhaul are 507021, 507014 and 507031. I'd be very surprised if 021 wasn't part of the next scrap move, with 014 most likely to be the other if it continues to be based on remaining mileage.507's that haven't had life extension overhauls 021/023 and 031 will be the next most likely to be taken out of service. Units that have had life extension overhauls since 2020 will most likely be the last ones to be withdrawn by May 001/003/007/010/011/014/015/016/017/018/020/028/029/033

oh this is going to be hilarious watching everything go tits up when 507s are all goneThere was a 507 on Ormskirk duties this morning, but it passed my train in a Kirkdale tunnel so I didn't catch the unit number, I'm afraid.
