If you mean "dead-end terminus", then no.
The 313s that used to do the route were in Blue and Grey as far as I know.

Southport to Hunts Cross (507)?

 

[SteveyBee131]

That's the one, well done

Indeed, I should have specified dead-end terminus.

I never knew 313s operated on Merseyside. I've seen footage of 507s and 508s in Blue & Grey, and they're very similar.

Over to you, FelixtheCat

I don't believe 313s operated on Merseyside. I was saying that the 313s on the North London Line may have been in Blue and Grey back in the day.

Thanks!
