Congratulations on clearing merseyrail
Thanks Kite, it's nice to finally be able to say I've cleared the fleet I've got to admit!
Great read that 507021. Cressington is a lovely quirky little little station in a very pleasant area. Aigburth is a little closer to where I live however with West Allerton at the end of my road I rarely use it. Speaking of Aigburth station I used to be a member of the Liverpool Model Railway Society which back in the day had its base in the station building. I am guessing that it was the old station masters house and upon entering every room had a model railway in it in various states of construction.
Anyway, made up you have cleared the 507's and 508's, well done. St Michaels and Bank Hall shouldn't prove too difficult to clear.
Totally agree on the 156's, their appearance on Lime Street to Oxford Road services seems to have reduced a little of late sadly. Not by much though.
Glad you enjoyed it mate. It is, certainly a massive contrast to the more modern stations on the network, especially the upcoming station at Maghull North which looks space age in comparison. I didn't know the Liverpool Model Club was based there, definitely something I've learned today!
Thanks, I am tempted to try and do them all again before they get withdrawn just for the sake of it, but I'm really made up I've got them all. I can't say I'll be in any rush to clear the new Stadler EMUs!
They're the best DMUs on that line in my view, although they're not that much newer than the Class 142s and 150s, to me the 156s feel like they're at least a decade newer.
Well done getting your last 507 & 508 for haulage mate. I've not done Cressington or Aigburth yet and the only other stations that I need on the Merseyrail line between Hunts Cross and Southport are Brunswick, Bank Hall and Seaforth & Litherland so I must make the effort and have a visit soon.
Thanks mate. They're both nice stations to be fair, certainly a lot nicer than the other three you need. The one thing I like about Seaforth and Litherland is that it's an island platform, although there's not that much to look at from it!
Many congratulations on clearing the MerseyRail fleet! That's 2 of us at least this year who've achieved that hallowed status, possibly Noddy1878 too. Won't be long until you join me in the 100% Cleared status as I can't imagine you need that many shacks now!
Thanks Tech, I've got to admit I didn't think I'd do it before the end of the year, but it feels great that I've managed it. I still need 29 shacks, but I hope to get a couple more before Christmas, which ones I'm not sure but I hope to have the Northern Line cleared for shacks by the time the Wirral Line re-opens again.
