Nah I know its not coming back I've been trying to find out the time and date it will be pulled past bidston


I've been tricked by merseyrail an Ellesmere port service said 3 car service the tracks were screeching like a 507 but a 777 came in
The default settings on the screens is still 3 car. So if something has happened on that diagram earlier in the day and it hasn't been updated that's what the screen will display.

Didn't see the numbers but there are 2x PEPs working 2U29 Southport to Hunts Cross at the moment.

So that's 2 diagrams on the Southport runs as far as I can see for today

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.

Thanks! There's a 6 car sat in the sidings at Southport so presume it'll be that later

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.

Only three diagrams operating all on Southports

Southport
017,003: 1012 1242 1512 1742 2012
016, 018: 1042 1312 1512, 1742, 2012
029, 015: 1527, 1757, 2027, 2242

Hunts X
017, 003: 1128, 1351, 1621, 1851, 2121
016, 028: 1151, 1421, 1651, 1921, 2151
029, 015: 1636, 1906, 2136

There are 3 spares, which doesn't bode well for future with the service covered.

001: West Kirby
007: New Brighton
033 Birkenhead (though often Birkenhead spares are at New Brighton)

Out of service/ scrap.
011 waiting repair since 05/03
014 scrap 15/04
018 waiting repair since 07/04
021 scrap 15/04
023 waiting repair since 16/04
