It'll never get past the third fence!
Talking with staff at Southport and they estimate that the platforms work wont be finished until May - the other day 777021+032 were in platform 2. I had thought the work on p2 & p3 were finished but one of the staff said that they were going to be extended and would be closer to the barriers.

I read on an earlier post that 507 disposals are you be paused until April but note that there is a light engine booked to Birkenhead today, followed by a run to Newport tomorrow. Does anybody have any insight as to what units will be taken away? Thanks

013 and 032 were withdrawn a while ago and have been at Birkenhead since, I assume it is those 2 that are going.

Thanks for your help
I saw 507002 on Test to West Kirby this afternoon. 507033 was at Birkenhead North at noon then went to New Brighton to Join 507016 and 507029 stabled there. 507017/20/30 were on the New Brighton's. 507001+007 507031+010 (am only) 507015+003 507028 507018 507023 were the other diagrams. Of note was 507021 was on a 777 diagram. Southport at 7pm there were 2 single 507s stabled in the sidings. All West Kirby's were 777s.

507001 is stabled at New Brighton with 507029.
507003 should have been on the 12:27 from Southport but they did a last minute swap with 507033+16 on platform 2. I guess it will come back out later.
507020 is on the XX:53 from New Brighton every hour.
Was that heading to or from Chester at 13:30?
Now I've thought about it, I guess it's the 13:01 from Chester. The 10:01 was cancelled.

It was to chester
Cheers. That was 507014 this morning. Looks like they did the swap at Rock Ferry on 2C26 at 12:59. Only one late away.
I did two round trips this evening. It was chasing its tail the whole time. Quite difficult to keep time in the evenings, stopping at Capenhurst in both directions. It's managed a right time start on the 21:30 from Chester though; the first right time departure from Chester since 17:45.

I was at Chester when the 1001 (777007) was cancelled.
It seems to have vanished. Should have finished at Rock Ferry and done an early ECS to Chester but it didn't. 507010 is out, albeit on a different diagram, 08:31 from Chester.

Thanks - If it comes out in next few days I would be grateful to know so I can take the grandson for a ride on his favourite one.

507015 1451 from Hunts Cross
507018 should be 1512 from Southport
