Merseyrail 507009 & 508130

[SimonC]

Hi all

I am planning on heading up from Kent to hopefully get my last 2 on Saturday using the Great Escape. Can anyone please advise if they are both in active service as 508130 hasnt been noted on Locoscene recently

Assuming they are can I put in a cheeky advance request for info re their
workings that day

Thanks guys

Simon

I have a contact in Merseyrail, both units are currently in service and are not planned to be stopped. Hopefully on Friday afternoon I can find out for you if they are in traffic on Saturday and if so on which line.

Hi Peter

Thats good news re their current status and if you could find that info re Saturday you would achieve star status - my fingers are firmly crossed

THANK YOU
Simon

507009 was on the Ormskirk line on Tuesday 30th. If I see either of them tomorrow I'll let you know on here along with where they should finish up according to the diagrams.

Let's just hope their rolling stock plan hasn't gone to pot since office hours closed today!

Worked like a dream! Crossed 508130 on my way to Southport and 507009 was resting under the trainshed

Thank you for your help and contacts Peter
