There has definitely been an update to the trains. New announcements and video's playing. The guard said it's something to do with 8 cars so they must be nearly ready to go to Hunts Cross

Well he takes the credit so it is on him.

All this could and should have been done at build. Sadly Merseyrail get hauled over the coals but they had nothing to do with the purchase or design of these trains. And let's not forget the trains were running before the ice hit, so again the responsibility sits elsewhere. Once again Mr Mayor...

What happens when politicians egos take over the railways. The buses are next .

Thought it was a track fault so not the trams as you put them.

Recent experiences of a regular traveller. 2 or 3 min late is a regular occurrence now, however more trains have turned up than not which is far from what it was 12 months ago. You can tell what units have been cleaned properly as they scrub up well but regularly in the mornings most have...

That question is pretty much everything that is wrong with the 777. There are probably many numerous easy solutions that could've been used

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/merseyrail-class-777-introduction-updates.153458/page-253#post-7080938 The safer solution is a new fleet of trains that has nothing to do with that idiot in Mann Island, or the expert train builders he chose on the cheap, but the...

Why is there such a shortage of 777s, surely Stadler know how to fix the trains they built.

Was all ice this morning according to a guard, if the 3rd rail is icy, no trains are moving so for once nothing to do with 777 reliability.

Or a Metro Mayor 1731081709 Or a Metro Mayor !

The idiot has moved on to bendy buses and a bridge over the Mersey now. No mention at all as to the dreadful service we are suffering any more. Cancellations are almost expected now it's got that bad.

Wouldn't Network Rail pay, its their station and infrastructure. Like I said I don't think they choose to leave trains there, It's probably because there is nowhere else. Units are left all over the network after service and are equally at risk, 001 and the rest of the 507's are probably just in...

Because Merseyrail's operations don't revolve around 1 unit that is surplus to requirements. Southport is out of action too remember. I'm sure the fact that its 001 really isn't high on Merseyrail's priority list when it comes to day to day operations. It will wash off.

Ok little gripe over that photo, the majority of those people will get off in town, 10 min max from Aigburth, it's hardly the end of the world is it.. Crowding like that is on say a few trains in the morning and evening, again maximum journey time roughly 15 min, and you will also have another...

I think Merseytravel made many mistakes with this fleet but i wouldn't expect anything less from them .. Stadler being the main one of them all. But we are now stuck with them and God willing they will get their act together.

If recent days are anything to go on... Nope. The battery trains have been playing games as to which one can break more in 1 day

We can only hope

PIS seems to be announcing every station on arrival all of a sudden now, although speaking to a guard it is still very temperamental. He said there is a big update coming up but none of the other updates have made any difference and the majority of staff have no confidence in the trains or...

Just completely incompetent if these trains are anything to go on
