From what i've been told 007 has a blown motor so I very much doubt it'll be seen out again.

HNX - OMS lines har a little bit of disruption this morning with two cancelled services which brings up chances of one coming out. All I know is that at some point today probably

Appears 507029 is coming out on the West Kirby line on 2W16 (starting at Birkenhead North at 11:07 for its return journey to West Kirby).
I hope it has received a clean inside, it was filthy on Saturday evening with larger bottles and spilt alcohol in several places in the middle carriage.
UPDATE: 507018 now coming out on New Brighton line, working 2N20 (11:08 from New Brighton).

Can I ask what is a TCU in this context?

I believe 018 will be on New Brighton again tomorrow, its final working today is 2N60 where it then stays in New Brighton P2 overnight and then forms the 05:53 2N01, correct me if i am wrong

Are the 507s being fully withdrawn after the railtour on Sunday or do we not know?

The same apears to be with 029, staying in West Kirby P1 overnight. Correct if wrong
507029 has gone to Birkenhead North having completed its West Kirby duties. It is in the outdoor siding beside the shed.

Information boards ar Hamilton Square showing the 08:11 departure towards Liverpool as a 3 car, looks like 018 has indeed continued its service

Just noticed, it appears as though 507003 and 023 have left the sidings at Southport and are about to work 2G10 and 2S12 on the Southport line this morning.

Edit: After looking on traksy it appears that the spare 507s in Southport will be entering service on 2G10, they’ve currently moved from the Wall Sidings with tbe headcode 5G10

Entering service on the 8:02 Southport to Central. Will then form the 9:02 back where the diagram ends until the evening peak. Last time a 777 took over in the evening so we will see.

Currently onboard 023/003 and they emergency braked just after Formby, and then started moving straight after. Not sure why this happened

That happened the other day to the unit on OMS - HNX, just before HNX

I think that was either 003 or 023 but I can't remember

023/003 have finshed 2S12 and gone into the Wall Sidings at Southport. I would assume they will be out later as there are barely any 777s in Southport CS

Apparently one out on the 09.06 West Kirby circuit but don't know number

Most likely 507029 since this was on Birkenhead North depot after finishing on West Kirby yesterday evening.
507001 and 007 inside shed. I have heard 507007 has been withdrawn from service now.

Shame about 007 but I'm never too sure what to think. I was told by several people the other week that 003 and 018 had both worked their last turns but both have been out since. Certainly won't complain of it does return unexpectedly!!

My guess is no because of these TCU faults, They are not easy nor cheap to fix. I would have to say a good 2 weeks before full withdrawal

The 09:06 was cancelled at Bidston, has 029 replaced that?

Anyone know whether 018 is still out? Many thanks

Do you know which service it would be if they do go back out?

Email earlier internally said New Brighton 507 has been covered crew wise for the remainder of its diagram so is planned to stay out.

It is the peak diagrams so would be the 16:03 off Southport, returning to the sidings at 18:13
