Do you know what Chester runs are 777 operated I will be going to Chester next weekend so I might try and go on the Wirral line if 777s are operating to try it on this route I normally travel on TfW now from LSP

Merseyrail trains DO appear on RTT like most other national trains.
Merseyrail trains dont show how many cars or unit numbers on RTT

Noticed that as only "3 cars" are showing on displays.

Is any likely to run on Bank Holiday Monday for the Wirral ?
One on the West Kirby line starting with the 0751 out of West Kirby, one out of New Brighton starting with the 0623.

There's due to be one on the Chester line but the line is currently heavily disrupted due to flooding with Liverpool shuttles from Rock Ferry

Just been on the New Brighton line today and ridden on the 777 in the loop line, interesting to see the curve do the carriage.

In West Kirby and not noticed any 777 on this route so far, is it running or gone pop ?

A 777 inbound from West Kirby passed me at Conway Park at midday when I was on a 777 to New Brighton…just waiting at Lime Street to pick it up.

Are there any 777 running to Chester after this mornings disruption? Through running is back, but Ellesmere Port trains are still replaced by buses from Hooton.

Thanks for the heads up, just caught it at Birkenhead North :)

Had a rare run to Rock Ferry terminal as well on the old train.

Just to confirm, all six units on the Chester line this afternoon are 507/8s.
Better when there's disruption to get trains out that everyone is trained on rather than potentially screwing up the service further due to no trained driver etc

No mention of unit numbers that I can find so far
