    Merseyrail Class 777 introduction updates

    I had received confirmation from a third party source that both Units were moved. Consequently I have updated the location list accordingly.

    Keeping old slides after scanning ?

    Simply you always keep the originals. Likewise place / store them safely in suitable containers / boxes and in reasonable constant temperature room (out of direct light too). Greater majority of my collection going back to the early 80's have been stored in the little bedroom in a cupboard and...

    Merseyrail legacy fleet updates (Class 507/508)

    A straight answer is currently no unless someone in the 'back office' knows and has not released the possible date. Also still 10 Class 777's to arrive in Merseyside yet with three of them still abroad, so I think they need to arrive before the last of the Class 507's are seen off!

    Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram pledges to bring "trackless trams" to Liverpool Airport, among other places

    'Steve Rotheram' just being a complete numpty as usual. Sooner he has gone the better, hopefully sooner, fingers cross!

    Class 507 preservation society.

    This has already been discussed at length on the relevant thread, so let us keep it there please. 1711556484 Ten year agreement in place but certainly in the short / medium term as far as can be established, not under cover.

    Shortest UK car number plate you've seen

    I think you are being 'pedantic' but for clarification, four letters and one digit then. Does that please you? :lol:

    Shortest UK car number plate you've seen

    I've seen DUG 1 many years on a old Rolls Royce. Even took a picture with it I recall. Just cannot find it. In the meantime I have a 5 digit plate which represents my initials and my name too. You figure! :D

    Merseyrail Class 777 introduction updates

    That is correct. :D Kirkdale C.S. = 001 to 028 inclusive, 030, 031, 032, 034, 036, 039, 041 049, 140, 142, 144, 146, 148, 150 and 152. WOJn MSC Sidings = 038 and 051 Long Marston = 029, 037, 043, 045 and 053. Strangely I do not have any interest in the Class 777's, they are just a means to...

    Merseyrail legacy fleet updates (Class 507/508)

    Not quite true unfortunately as other Class 507's and Class 777's have been done too. The scumbags who do this have no clue what is what on a railway, as all they see is a blank canvas on the side of a train! As for your latter thought, I totally agree.

    Royal Photo Controversy

    Edits similar to what Princess of Wales carried out but done by a professional photo editor you would not notice it. Therefore again, I stick to my original thought 'Newspaper Editors and their Photographers never edit images do they' and you would not notice it had they done so too, so unless...

    Merseyrail Expansion

    Mmmm true but you did insert a map / line diagram in a previous post (no 289 on here) where there WERE buffer stops inserted with neither line connected! Liverpool South Parkway is not meant to be a Terminus, nor it should be. Again, how many people wish a particular district in Liverpool /...

    Merseyrail Expansion

    Unless you get to Gateacre first, then you are not going to get to anywhere else, that is a simple fact but you seem to overlook that. The prime purpose of a station at Gateacre is because of the large catchment area (which includes Netherley) for people primarily who are wishing to travel to...

    Merseyrail Expansion

    It's silly! Simply the Northern Line just carries on to Gateacre, much easier. Don't need a platform four unless you envisage two lines going to Gateacre. What is the point of getting off and on to another train when it can just carry on to / from Southport, you do not need a separate service...

    It was a honest observation on my part as you have confirmed it was not 100% clear what your intentions were. Anyway, it is now obvious so all good but I appreciate taking my thought the right way. :)

    Merseyrail Expansion

    Park Lane Goods Station closed in 1972 as far as I am aware. As for Wapping Tunnel, it is partially flooded around the half way point.

    Merseyrail Class 777 introduction updates

    In the light of three Class 777's arriving at WOJn MSC Sidings yesterday (#), below is current locations / area they are in. This just leaves three Class 777's to arrive in the UK from Europe, these being 777033, 035 and 047. Kirkdale C.S. = 001 to 028 inclusive, 030, 031, 032, 034, 036, 039...

    Merseyrail to Carr Mill?

    Now you mentioned it, and got my little grey cells working, yes it branded 'Merseyrail City Line' (as well as Northern and the Wirral lines), that was certainly from the mid 1980's (if not before) until mid 1990's, as from about then, the new 'yellow' M station signs started to appear which had...

    Railway Track Diagrams and Atlases

    I think you need to be very careful here as most book publishers state (within the book) 'All rights reserved' which usually means no part of the publication may be reproduced what so ever without the prior written permission of the publisher. This includes scanning pages / documents and putting...
