One is coming out to play on West Kirbys, unsure which one, I've heard 1651 from West Kirby later but dunno if it's already out or not.
Just for the record, no 507s were used today and a 777 was sourced for the 16.51 circuit instead.

I’m going to Liverpool tomorrow hoping to score as many 777s as possible, so if it becomes known of a 507 out please let me know so I can avoid that diagram, as food breaks are gonna be scarce and I can quickly add one in place of that ride!

I know many want the data for opposite reasons, but a 507 won’t get me a new number in the book whereas a 777 will :lol:

2N05 has gone pop today, anyone know if it’s a 507 replacing it?

Morning,

No unit allocated on that diagram at the moment but will keep an eye on it. Otherwise no 507s working today.

Thanks for the info. :)

Aha! Looks like we have a replacement out now. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for what it is.

I had that this morning though, so what other service will have been cancelled to allow that to be the replacement for the originally cancelled diagram?
The four units on the New Brighton line are:

xx08: 777038
xx23: 777033
xx38: 777047
xx53: 777023

I believe 033 was the train I had this morning on the diagram that later became cancelled, before it failed. I wonder if the original allocation is showing in TRUST rather than the replacement train, unless of course, they’ve simply fixed it.

Both are indeed possible without anyone physically checking…and I see they now have.

507001, 003 and 007 all in the shed at Birkenhead North depot. I presume 018 is still in the heavy maintenance shed, along with a 777 on the other road. 023 must still be up at Southport.
Does anyone know if 507007 is fit for service (if required). It has not worked since 3rd August to the best of my knowledge (when it was pulled from service at Bootle New Strand (working 2S14) with a fault)?

Yes. I’m currently at Birkenhead North where the PIS is showing the 12:34 to Liverpool Central as having 3 cars.
Brilliant cheers for that.

I have not seen any trace of 007 or heard whether it has been fixed so i am not sure overall. I believe the last time i might have saw 007 might have been sat at Kirkdale during an everton match day (but i could be wrong)

It looks like it needs a clean

507029 has been swapped out for 777023.
029 is currently on platform 2 at New Brighton (in front of 777033).

There is a stadler engineer on board 777033.

What’s replaced 033 then? That was on another New Brighton diagram this morning, the one half an hour later!

777053 making its way ECS to New Brighton from Kirkdale C.S. Has 053 been accepted into service yet?

Edit: 053 has made its way back to Kirkdale C.S. It seemed to encounter a bit of a problem and took a while to move out the platform at Central.
