Wasn't there three units at Wembley?
It has been a little quiet on the 777 failure rate this week. Have things turned a corner or is this wishful thinking?
Is that definitely confirmed please? I was advised that it was 032 and 034?For those interested, 777021/2 were on the delivery run to Kirkdale in the early hours. Saw the consist from the bus home.
Any ideas when 777019/023/031 made there way to Kirkdale please? I see they moved together 30/8/23 to Walton but I have no onward move noted?
777011 was replaced for 777010 for the remainder of the days diagramThe Southport 777 has failed at Southport with a door fault.
It’s not like there are no spare 777s at Southport. Maybe they should have one on permanent standby to take over the diagram, rather than just using the sidings here for remote storage from Kirkdale.777011 was replaced for 777010 for the remainder of the days diagram
To be honest I thought that was what 777016 was doing but apparently not. It has been in the siding since MondayIt’s not like there are no spare 777s at Southport.

Was units 777021 & 777022 moved to Kirkdale C.S. early this morning?Since my previous post, both No 777021 and 022 arrived at Kirkdale Depot from WOJN MSC Sidings early this morning (Wed 20/12) which just leaves two remaining again at that location.
Updated Arrival List as follows:
Kirkdale C.S. = 001 to 028 inclusive, 030, 031, 036, 049, 140, 142, 144, 146, 148, 150 and 152.
WOJn MSC Sidings. = 032 and 034.
In the meantime, it has been confirmed that the full roll out of Class 777's will take place on the remaining lines in the following order, 1) West Kirby 2) New Brighton, then finally 3) Hunts Cross - Southport.
(Edit: Thanks to three anon's for confirmation of 021 and 022 move).
Yes TOPS apparently had 032 and 034 down but three eye balls noted 021 and 022. Who you going to say which is true?Was units 777021 & 777022 moved to Kirkdale C.S. early this morning?
A request on the TOPS forum page seems to suggest it was 777032 & 777034 which moved to Kirkdale C.S.?
If not yet, then I'm guessing there will be in four days time (25 December).Has there been a day free of incidents with a 777 since they were launched?
Seems short-sighted. There'll be 7 battery units won't there, with 5 needed for a normal service? Are ME really expecting that 2 additional units won't be enough?I've heard from a friend at Merseyrail a further three units are possibly to become additional /1s before delivery, and I'll emphasise it's only being considered at present. If it does end up happening, then I'd like to think it's to increase resilience for Headbolt Lane services rather than further extensions to the network while the 777s undergo their extensive bedding in period.
They work fine on non-Headbolt duties on the third rail with the batteries (I think some of the /1s have made their way onto Ormskirk in the past)Seems short-sighted.

Well, unless they've fitted batteries to a 507/8, I'm not sure how this is possible? RTT and Traksy shows a normal service to Headbolt Lane with none turned back at Kirkby.Knocking about Merseyrail today and we have such gems as stuck cab doors and a 50x on the Headbolts (but 777s on Ormskirk).
