Batteries Not Included - Sunday 13th February 2022
Continuing our longstanding relationship with Merseyrail, we are delighted to announce a Class 507 and Class 508 EMU charity railtour exploring the depths of the Merseyrail network. Our route includes the recently re-laid Hall Road Wallside Siding, New Brighton Wall Siding, Bidston Stabling Siding, Southport Carriage Sidings (No 10 Road requested), Chester P7A, Rock Ferry P4 bay platform, Hunts Cross P2, Hoylake crossover and the now customary visits to Birkenhead North TMD (No 5 Road requested) and Kirkdale Depot. Profits will be donated to the Merseyrail nominated charity, James' Place. A complimentary hot drink will be provided at Southport station, and comfort breaks will be included throughout the journey.
It is hoped that the Class 508 selected will be a set that has been identified for early withdrawal.
