Lets just say the sliding step had an argument with Bebington platform and the platform won!!

To be fair the Merseyrail services can be (& often are) full and standing all the way between Chester and Liverpool, the timetable is an absolute nightmare to keep to time with. The intermediate stations between Hooton and Birkenhead also have the Ellesmere Port services to absorb extra footfall.

How do you think they put 004 back together...

No

All of the merseyrail ones are left on all night.

Bache to Chester has had longstanding issues with the power that flare up every so often with some other ongoing issues round Hooton. Ormskirk to Town green, Liverpool South Parkway to Hunts Cross and Hightown to Hall Road all have power restrictions for 8 cars. In addition a large section of...

I cant actually remember the name of the company that fitted the pis but merseyrail provide the information ie route codes needed and stadler upload the information to the units 1780983259 Most of the issues with the 777s is good money was spent on the units with the cheapest possible fit out...

Pretty much. As a route code is being used to set up the pis rather than a headcode it considerably reduces the amount of codes the system needs to store.

Not as severe as not being able to use all electric trains but the 777s (esp 8 cars) do need to be used in half power at some locations and can struggle to draw power at others.

And despite all the upgrades there's still power issues at various locations across the network.

Green Lane only managed because the old stock had grandfather rights which meant the front /back doors on a 6 could be opened only on a little staff walkway. Announcements inside mentioned this. Hamilton Square and Bidston are the other asdo platforms on Wirral.

Yeah, merseyrail does now

Aside from New Years day it's always a normal timetable on Bank Holidays

Nope the 30min evening timetable is purely because the 15min Southports now turn at Liverpool Central.

Enough people are trained on it by now. The problem of asdo not coming into operation is competency runs out after 6 months...

So as new the pis was set up using the headcode for that particular service, for a variety of reasons its never worked very well. The new way the pis works is via a route code which -although it will see the end of the timings on the internal route maps- should be more reliable

Thats an incorrect pis code that's been inputted, the pis is no longer linked to the headcode on the Chester line and soon won't be on any of them.

You can't say sensible things like that on this forum, its those dastardly 777s!!!

Or far more likely it's all the stock they had available...

Thats not good enough for this forum, you have to embellish!
