Could be wrong but on traksy it looks like 003 and 023 have shunted into P1 at Southport

15:54 from LPY to Ormskirk cancelled due to a fault: potential for a possible 507?

Nope, 023,003,029, & 018 are all in use. 007 and 001 are in North Depot and both have faults.

Agreed except around my area it used to be 315s 20 minutes away if that so 2 years

I had to endure them on the Seven Sisters loop to Cheshunt, during the mid- to latter-1990s. Original seats: hateful things!

That’s a shame. I see 003 and 023 have appeared though so will hopefully try and ride.

In your neck of the woods it’s been over a year since any interesting passenger trains whatsoever!

Merseyrail just posted about a points failure at Southport then instantly deleted it, anyone know what's going on?
Babybirdrobin
Member
I’m not sure but if I’d theorise they either got it wrong or the failure only affects northern or is on non-passenger track, just a theory though?

No they've posted it again now, doesn't look like they know all the details yet though

I never had to endure the 315s in daily service but I still attended their farewell as I did like them even if it was related to having spent the last 12 years as a child looking at them at Shenfield identifying them by the doors having the teeth and passing them

That could be the issue then, they didn’t have the details they needed quite yet

It's just done it again at the same place

Looks like 003 and 023 might be going back down to Liverpool again, everything being turned around at hillside because of the points failure
== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==
003 and 023 are now going back down to Central, not sure which service it's going on, driver and guard don't know either

As much as I hope they ready 001 in time, I’d take 029 and 018 as those two are seemingly really good according to the other posts on here, shame I can’t be up there for the tour ☹
Although, I think they might have to repair 007 and 001 for handback and new life respectively [Speculative post]

I doubt they need to repair units going for scrap to be honest! From what I’ve heard elsewhere the rumour is 003 and 023 will be doing the tour

Doubt they will, if the units are being withdrawn there’s no reason to repair them. 001 is for static display remember.
This makes sense, if the units are being scrapped (007) or for static display (001), why would they repair them?

As opposed to 001 doing it? Or in addition? Is something wrong with 001?

001 has a faulty Motor Alternator so unless it gets repaired it won’t be able to run the tour

Bad news indeed.

001 isn't exactly great anyway other than it's historical value. Managed a ride on 018 this evening, making all the right noises although delayed by a late 777 on its final trip.
777s are dropping like flies, expect 507s out tomorrow again!

Was at Sandhills yesterday morning on my way to Ormskirk when 507003/023 came in heading for Liverpool Central. At lunchtime I saw 507018 at Wallasey Grove Road and then on my return from New Brighton at Birkenhead North.
