507 suspension

[44988]

I took a trip to West Kirby the other day and I could not believe how good the ride was. I can't think of anything better. I grew up with the old 502s. When they were forty years old they were in a dreadful state, but it feels like the 507s could go on for ever. What about Classes 313/4/5?

They all have pretty much the same secondary suspension system. Same as Mk3 coaches and other uk built stock from that era.
They won't go on forever though, most of the stock mentioned suffers from rotten bodywork.

Ride them whilst you can. They going from the end off the year.
