Enjoying a ride on 507007 on the West Kirby. The Rheo/Dynamic is tripped IN…so when the unit gets a chance to be whipped into speed…it makes for a lovely sound slowing down!

All workings across the network are now booked to be worked by the Class 777 fleet on Sundays, therefore highly likely no 507s will be working today. Perhaps someone could confirm later though?
Could anyone please confirm if 507011 remains stabled at Southport?

The six-car set is 507010 and 029, which finished there last night after working the 21.21 from Hunts Cross. Other units and their locations are: 507003 in the sidings at New Brighton, 507007 at Birkenhead North, 507015 and 018 at Kirkdale, 507016 and 017 in the sidings at West Kirby and 507023 in platform 2 at New Brighton.
With a bit of luck, 023's location means it will be on the New Brighton line tomorrow.
Logically, 001 would be used to replace 015 when the latter is pulled from service in the coming days, then 011 and 015 would move to Birkenhead North for decommissioning, but we'll see if it plays out as such.

Gotta love the pretentious arseholes who moderate Wikipedia...apparently a video of units 507014 and 021 being dragged for scrap is not a reliable source...

Anyone know any workings for today?
Apparently Car No's 64432 and 71369. This complete unit and 033 scheduled to go to Newport on Tuesday, so I assume road transport to bring back the relevant cars back to Fazakerley, Merseyside!

Realtime Trains | 5T60 0850 Southport to Kirkdale C.S. | 07/05/2024
Real-time train running information for 5T60 0850 departure from Southport to Kirkdale C.S. on 07/05/2024. From Realtime Trains, an independent source of train running info for Great Britain.

5T60 Southport to Kirkdale appeared in real-time train, think this is the first half of 507 011 and 015 heading to Birkenhead North for scrap preparation.
Expect a 5T61 Kirkdale to Birkenhead North to appear at some point
507 011 reported as front unit from Southport so will be on rear between Liverpool Central and Birkenhead

Are there any dates for when it goes to Birkenhead or is it too early

No scrap move this weekend just gone?
507028 and 033 left for scrap this morning behind 37884, a day later due to the Bank Holiday. They eventually passed nearly an hour late through Bidston. Two carriages of 028 set to escape the cutter's torch as mentioned above.
Looks like 011 and 015's last move under their own power is underway:

5T64 just posted Kirkdale to Birkenhead North departing 10.55
Should be through James Street around 11.15
If they are going to the trouble of turning the tyres, would it make some sense to carry some passengers and earn some revenue before scrapping it?

Are there meant to be any 507s on any Wirral line services at all or is it just 777?

Think it's just they weren't willing to have it dragged to Newport in that state in case it caused major damage to track as I presume Merseyrail would have footed the bill?
Maybe NR would have insisted on a road move which isn't easy off Merseyrail (think they have to drag them to Seaforth Docks
None booked, just 3x 6 cars on Southports

507015 & 011 are due on the next movement hauled by 37844. I don't know when however
It will most likely be next Monday, do you know what’s after?

Don't think anything else planned to be withdrawn immediately after these next two. Information ws 6 to be gone between Grand National and early May and the rest would carry on for foreseeable
