Anyone know if 507018 is still doing Chester services?

Yes. Currently working 2C33.

Correct me if im wrong, but it looks like 018s last diagram is 2C68, then 5R41 to Birkenhead Central, unless it is subbed for a 777 at some point.

Can anyone confirm which unit is stabled on platform 3 at Southport at the moment (could be a Class 777), it has come from Kirkdale depot and appears to be taking over from 507029 on 2G61.

018 has just left Bromborough as 2C07, and is on the board to go back round to Chester.

Unit required to replace a 777 from the West Kirby line. Replacement unit appears to be coming from Kirkdale depot as 5T84. Could well be 507029 which has moved ECS from Southport to Kirkdale depot this morning.

Whatever unit replaced the 777 on the West Kirby line has been swapped over with the initial 777 which had an issue earlier this morning.

The 11:40 to West Kirby at LVC is showing as 3 car on the boards, will have a look what it is when it turns up

It's 777038 on 2W19, not a 507

Managed to catch it over to Liverpool earlier and then caught it back later on, sounds brilliant and couldn't fault it.
Overheard some old ladies near me talking about how nice it was to have one again as the new ones are "so unreliable" - made me chuckle!

Anyone know of any 507’s running tomorrow?

507018 might carry on doing the Chester's tomorrow but we'll have to wait and see. There appears to be a lot of 777's parked up around the place with faults - two at Hooton and one at Rock Ferry come to mind and have been there for days.

Major shortage of 777s due to some major faults with the TCUs across a large proportion of the fleet, they've been dropping like flies and not a quick/cheap part to replace. Expect 507s to be filling in for a while.

Currently onboard 507018 on 2C12, sounding amazing as always. Have not been on a Chester 507 scince I believe January.

I've just got to James St. Seems nothing is running? Rumours of someone hit by a train.
Hope that's not true, but if it is, then hope everyone involved will be OK.

Hopefully not
That'll screw my plans up to catch 018

At Lime Street, there are 3 fire engines, 3 ambulance incident units, a first responder ambulance, an actual ambulance and a Network Rail MOM van.

Thank you for the confirmation. Further updates will be appreciated - I'm currently heading to Chester on the 11:47 TfW from Liverpool, so expect to miss the return working at Chester, but will try to pick it up at some point.
they don’t run on Sundays anymore, unless they’re desperately needed

Anyone catching 018 should head Moor fields for a replacement bus to Birkenhead Central
