These first 2 would only run if 001 is featuring, as it is stabled in North Depot while 003 and 023 are already in SouthportNoticed there are some ECS paths (below) in for this Saturday. I presume to provide the units which will feature on the 507 farewell tour this coming Sunday.

There is also a path in following the tour to take the units back to North depot, whether this will actually run is to be seen. The units may just stable at Southport following the tour.

It was posted on here around a month ago, since then i havent heard anything else about it beint confirmed. Weather 001 is out depends on if its fixed or not. Even if theyres not any purposely out for the anniversary id image some will be out for the 777 shortage

Id image they would use 003/023 as theyre already at Southport, plus ive heard rumours that 023 will sub for 001 if its not fixed

Anyone know if 023/003 is in the Wall Sidings or the CHS at Southport? Theres 2 ecs’s and around 6am tomorrow, one from WallS and one from Chs, trying to see which one would be 023/003

Could be wrong but I think they're still in service on 2S60, the last service I know they definitely did was the 19:02 LVC to SOP

Earlier in the day they were at Wall Sidings before restarting service. I have no idea if they will return there once they finish.

She’s not long passed through Formby on the way to Southport. Arrived around 2350 so should be there(Southport) overnight.
What’s up with 001? Last I heard it was running ok?

Was reported as having an MA fault but unsure if this is the case.

Based on the pathing last night, it would appear that 023/003 are on the 07:02 off LVC, anyone confirm?

001 appears to be back inside at BKN depot, 018 and 029 are now where 001 was

Just passed Birkenhead North Depot, 018+029 outside and 001 has moved back inside
== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==
Update: just past North Depot again, 018 is being moved inside the shed, and 029 and 001 are coupled outside. 001 has a ‘Farewell’ sticker on the front of it, confirming its on the tour. Im assuming it would be 001 + 029 now as they are coupled, and they would be keeping 023 + 003 as reserves in Southport
