It was by far and away the worst one of the lot in terms of driving and reliability. It was only the fancy paint job that saved it. Someone enthusiastically said to me just before they were retired, they were really great, my response was, you don't have to drive the festering pile of scrap.... Sadly I have the same with our HSTs. Put folk in the cabs and they’ll soon see what we have to put up with. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted December 2, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) That should have the Pot Noodle enthusiasts suddenly pop up and follow its every move, demanding it be preserved until they are asked to stick their hands in their pockets to pay for it, which is when they will mysteriously disappear again...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted December 2, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) Yep, they all appeared when the 313's were on the way out, lots of noise all over social media, etc. As soon as the last one was retired, they promptly started to disappear again and when they were asked to put their hands in their pockets to stump up the eye watering two and a half grand a month just to park up the infamous blue rust bucket, they vanished completely.

I've heard it's going to a new multi million pound transport museum in Birkenhead along with some of the items from Liverpool Museum such as Cecil Raikes. Not personally involved with the 507 group, but it's some of the same people who saved the 502 and have done a lot of restoration work on it. I had a brief chat with one of them at Rainhill last week and at other times in the past. They seem to know what they are doing.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted December 3, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 3, 2023 Unusual working this cold and very wet evening. Engineering works north of Pulborough all weekend means an extra train down the valley and the three car from the days Bognor/Littlehampton shuttles was used. 377304 seen waiting for the off at Pulborough in the pouring rain! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold rodent279 Posted December 10, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) A very wet and ironically named Port Sunlight sees Merseyrail 507018 depart towards Liverpool. Sorry about the lamppost, but I was getting wet enough as it was with one arm out of the canopy! Not long now for these 40+ year old BR design EMUs.

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted December 12, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 12, 2023 For those who may be interested, there's a report in another forum that there are tentative paths in the schedule on Thursday (13th) and Friday (14th) this week for a trip in passenger service with the 701 units from London Waterloo to Windsor and return. 2U91 1025 Waterloo to Windsor (1119) and 2U92 1130 Windsor to Waterloo (1228) Calling at normal Windsor line stops. Associated empty stock paths are also in the schedule as follows; 5U91 0953 Wimbledon Park Depot Sidings to London Waterloo (10.13) 5Y89 1240 London Waterloo to Wimbledon Park Depot Sidings (1325) Information given in good faith, so the usual caveats apply. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted January 9 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9 (edited) Perhaps this is one for 'When a real train looks like a model' Look at that curve - the effect of a telephoto lens. Taken from the new Newhaven Port Access Bridge 1+ miles away. This was 377 316 at Newhaven Town crossing 9.1.2024. The waffle is because the pic was going into an environmental thread in my photo-sharing website. Edited January 10 by phil_sutters 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted January 18 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 18 Victoria this afternoon. The train forming the 14.16 Littlehampton service arrives 22 mins late. Departed at 14.36 and now terminating at West Worthing. Fortunately that’s my station. Cheers Darius 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
