I believe 5T82 was the headcode used yesterday for 018 and 029 when they were in NBN, not sure if it is the same today though

018 and 029 were no longer coupled, i went past North and it was 029+001 outside, with 018 being shunted inside
Edit: Information boards at Hamilton Square showing the 16:46 to West Kirby as cancelled, potentially the 507s?

018/029 apparently in New Brighton sidings. I'm told the 777 that failed has been replaced and will carry on with the remainder of the diagram.
The original email said 6car 507 at North depot but not yet available, for whatever reason.

Sadly nothing on the displays, but the compressors were still ticking nicely.

Thanks for today's updates. Looks fairly certain 001 will be on the tour; all this after the utter tosh that has been going around about it being 'officially withdrawn'. Ideally they will use one of 018 or 029 alongside as those two are much better runners than 003 and 023.
The lack of action on the 46th anniversary is a bit of a shame, but after all the superb 507 running over the last few weeks, it isn't the end of the world. I just hope the very last public run - presumably in December - is made known so we can all say our goodbyes; personally, I'd far rather be on that than a 'farewell tour' weeks before the actual end.

Could be, however i think it would be to allow 001 to couple to either 003 or 023 for the tour

Any 507’s expected or booked out later?

No, nothing booked. Unlikely you'll see a 507 today unless another few trams fail of course...

I have spotted 5T82 in NBN on Traksy. I have had word that 18/29 are both there, But that headcode has been used a few times for 507 ECS’ so leads me to think that could make an appearance later
Edit: There is headcode 2N21 which is white on Traksy, This headcode is also showing as VAR on Realtimetrains

Just wondered. Some trains don’t seem to. For example the noisy thing that cleans the lines at night doesn’t seem to. Although I could have just missed it I suppose.

2S43 was the one I meant, apologies for any confusion!
Great to see a bit of variety and not just the same pairing as the Wirral tour. Should be a good day tomorrow.
003's lack of heating is apparent as it's distinctly chilly on board it just now! Still, always a pleasure to get one on the Southport line even if 003 isn't exactly the Rolls-Royce unit.

001 is not in good condition at all in terms of sound, Its not letting me upload the video so I will try to attach it below
Edit: The video won’t upload because the file is too large
The motor fan is pulsing up and down in pitch in an unusual way. It sounds like it is about to explode

That's usually an indicator of a knackered Motor Alternator.

If 001 is having problems would the pairing with 023 negate that? Ie would it be possible for 023 to do all the pushing pulling etc?
