I would assume somebody would put the date on here right?
I appreciate we don't have a date, I was just wondering if anyone knows very approximately if we are looking at May, June , or perhaps even later....I would assume somebody would put the date on here right?
I'd also be interested in informed forum members views on this - as you like to plan vist but don't think I can get to the area until about mid may.I appreciate we don't have a date, I was just wondering if anyone knows very approximately if we are looking at May, June , or perhaps even later....
Thanks.Late June was the latest time frame mentioned for a possible farewell tour but this was only an estimate.
Keep eyes on branch line website as tickets will be booked through there when it's announced
There will probably not be much notice as it is hoped to be as near to the end of 507 operation as possible which is still a moveable feast - for example from today there's only supposed to be 3x6 cars in use on the Southport line but as reported above 2 are on Chesters and 1 New Brighton too.
Worth noting that 6 are going off lease this month so we would be down to the last 9 then. So it may only be a matter of weeks. Certainly would be surprised if any are in service at the start of the Summer holidaysI'd also be interested in informed forum members views on this - as you like to plan vist but don't think I can get to the area until about mid may.
Thanks for that - helpful context - I guess I'll just check the situation nearer the time and this forum thread is v helpful with that.Worth noting that 6 are going off lease this month so we would be down to the last 9 then.

507003 + 007 working the 1242 to HuntscrossWait 2 scrap moves in 2 days?
I also sampled 021 quite recently and thought it highly decent. 001 which stalked me non stop on the other hand, dear oh dear.
Great, so they fix the fault on 507021 and then send it for scrap!
The last ones were Boxing Day on the New Brighton line. The formations were 507004 + 011 and 507016 + 031.So when was the last 6 car service on the wirral line?
Oh right I would have assumed it was the 508 farewell tourThe last ones were Boxing Day on the New Brighton line. The formations were 507004 + 011 and 507016 + 031.
5 diagrams out as far as I’m aware which should be on the following:Can anyone report which services are 507 worked today please?
I’m not too interested in the numbers (though 001 would be nice) just want to catch one last 507 whilst I’m in Liverpool today.

I personally wouldn't get your hopes up on it coming back, would they go to the effort of getting it on the lathe for the sake of a few weeks when there are only a few booked diagrams remaining and plenty of units to cover them?Any updates on 011?
Nah I know its not coming back I've been trying to find out the time and date it will be pulled past bidstonI personally wouldn't get your hopes up on it coming back, would they go to the effort of getting it on the lathe for the sake of a few weeks when there are only a few booked diagrams remaining and plenty of units to cover them?
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 inThanks.
Managed to catch one of the Southport diagrams and the New Brighton diagram. The 2S02 diagram is 507029 and the New Brighton diagram is 507010.
Also briefly saw a second one of the Southport diagrams which is a 6-car formation, couldn’t id either unit.
The screens at Liverpool Central were showing a West Kirby departure as a 3-car about 10 mins ago.
If not already posted, I’ll share which units are on which diagrams once I’ve seen them.
won’t be for a few weeks and never trust those boards, they’re always doing itNah I know its not coming back I've been trying to find out the time and date it will be pulled past bidston
