Do you remember the units visible from the station.
Sorry, something’s gone wrong.
The first part of my reply was that I wanted to go to Bache from Chester to see what was on the depot but couldn’t due to cancellations and I had to go to Crewe. Was that to do with the trespass? It seemed one train was stuck at Rock Ferry and another was late at one of the city stations perhaps Moorfields.
50 out of 53 unit in uk.
Can remember 777041 and that’s about it.
Cheers.

777041 is now out on the network doing fault free running
That is correct.
Kirkdale C.S. = 001 to 028 inclusive, 030, 031, 032, 034, 036, 039, 041 049, 140, 142, 144, 146, 148, 150 and 152.
WOJn MSC Sidings = 038 and 051
Long Marston = 029, 037, 043, 045 and 053.
Strangely I do not have any interest in the Class 777's, they are just a means to travel on, nothing more, nothing less I'm afraid! So once the whole fleet has arrived on Merseyside, that is me done, over and out!

Any idea when the last ones are due, I've managed to miss every movement so far, would be a shame to not see them behind the 43s

Not sure why that would be
Your updates throughout this process have been appreciated though

can fully agree with you there, won’t last half as long as the 50XsThat is correct.

Went pat Kirkdale Depot this morning and saw 777144. Is it finally on its way back into service?

Hopefully. Its underframe is looking quite clean.

Is there still an 8 car working on the Ormskirk line following its debut last week?
There was an eight car working on Ormskirk line on Tuesday afternoon. Would have been the 1545 from Central. I was on the 1604 from Old Roan heading to town and it was at Aintree running 4 late to Ormskirk
I was on one on Sat afternoon. Didn’t realise till I got off and nearly missed a cop! (028).

Further increase in services for the 777s has been reported from the 8th of April. Only 3x6 car sets to be on Southports the rest should be 777s across the network

What's happening with new Brighton as there currently still mostly peps too. Will they switch to all 777s from 8th April?

Wasn’t a HABD alarm
Update, unit appears to have moved to Hamilton Square according to Traksy (originally due there at 0950).
5 other units appear to be stuck behind it around the loop.
Rail replacement buses in operation between Birkenhead Central/North and Liverpool.

Apparently there are issues coupling the rescue unit so who knows what's gonna happen.
Update - original rescue unit on non compatible software version. Second unit driver not trained to couple. Passengers been evacuated, driver sourced but the rescue unit is refusing to couple and another isolation+Line block has been taken, awaiting further updates.
