This reminds me of the way Kelvin 1633 sounded

EYMS had a few crazy drivers and this Gardner/ZF combination was perfect for them. Plenty of thrash... the only way you could drive them

This is the version from my childhood

Nice filming Chris

Theres me at 49:20 helllloooooo!

Great video

Is thaken by Dale beside him

New version

very very late to the video and sadly with now only 6 operational 507s remaining. the loud motors are caused by wear in the gears that move the train, the more wear the louder the train basically, and yes its possible to get thrash from a 507. if your looking for a 507 with loud motors to go on as of now it would be 018, sadly theyre only run as required now so its luck to have them out. hope this helped

Great catch! Would you be good with me including this video in my Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course, you will be credited in both the video and the description, as usual. Thanks!

Great captures! Would you be okay with me featuring the compressor stall in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!

Lovely video

Birky!

A great video, Thank you 😊😊😊 hope you're well 😊😊

Fantastic captures! May I feature this last takeoff in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. All the best to you :)

Absolute music 🎶

Merseyrail is the best Metro Rail company in UK! Fact! The new 777 class trains are owned by the Metro Region and the whole we be brought back into public ownership ship when the Stadler/Abeilio contract expires. The old 507/508 class are used only in emergency now. The 777d are great for wheelchair users - level ride on and dedicated spaces. Many Merseyrail stations are fully accessible using ramps or lifts. I can even fit in the small platform lift at Liverpool James St! I get on/off at Birkenhead North which has 630 car park spaces and 35 Blue Badge bays! Some of the 777s have battery power and allow them to travel to Headbolt Lane on the unelectrified section. I look forward to further extensions in the future such as Widnes or Helsby or Woodchuch, Wirral. I've been on the Southport and Ormskirk lines in my powered wheelchair! Great! Highly recommended!

Leave it to good ol' Dale to show us "ludicrous" camera angles 😊 Hope all's well with you there, old friend 😊

What was the last time they ran on the metro

507018 always has and always will be my favourite 507

A brilliant video, much enjoyed and much appreciated. 😊😊😊

Sitting In the front left seat on the 400 to the airport or the 184 to Uppermill. Classic.

i saw this on the 590 service a few times Rochdale to Halifax can just image this if still in PSV use been used to Huddersfield on the 184 service

1:42:39 Ignore me awkwardly bimbling past you there! 🤣

I remember these buses and exact livery when I used to catch the 427 into Oldham in the late 90's early 00's 👌🏼Either a Leyland Olympian, Atlantean or an MCW Metrobus 🙂

Great video mate

A great video . I'll miss the 507,608,s.I haven't made my mind up regards the 777,s just yet. But the pep,s had character. 😊😊😊

Brings back memories for me riding on GM Buses in the 90's. That distinctive Metrobus gearbox whining noise as it changes down when coming to a stop 🙂

That sound brings so many memory's loved the sound so much

...and the timestamps are off!!!... 0:00:01 - Inbound to Liverpool the Edge Hill 60 posse are 021 and 087 today 0:00:24 - 507 029 departs for New Brighton then 007 turns up on a West Kirby train! We nip to Central and see some 777 departures, with one terminating at Rock Ferry 0:06:27 - Obeying the sign we first see 507 033/003 leave for Ormskirk then 507 023/021 arrive. A surprise is 777 142 departing for Southport! We join 507 021 up to Kirkdale 0:11:23 - 507 city at Kirkdale. 021/023 depart north and 015/010 arrive south. The last chance to capture scenes like this unfortunately so make the most. Next in northbound is 507 028/017 so join 017 up to Orrell Park 0:17:35 - The next southbound, and 5th set out is "big blue" 507 001 with 014. We pick 014 to journey down to Sandhills. The train reverses here due to running late so I now join the 001 end (check out the full empty coach at this point!) alighting at Old Roan 0:27:04 - 014/001 head to Ormskirk with 017/028 returning to Liverpool. Next southbound is 015/010 with 033/003 crossing us here, again a scene soon to disappear 😞. We elect for 010 and hop to Aintree to see ppl preps well in hand with some groovy Merseyrail ads on show too 0:32:56 - Fittingly its "Red Rum" 021wih 023 in next so head to Maghull at the 023 end before swapping for 033 (trailing 003 - loving all these 6-cars!) back to Kirkdale 0:45:38 - Some Kirkdale happenings now with an 8 car 777 heading out to form an Aintree shuttle whilst 777 002 has a spruce up in the carriage wash. 014/001 head back north, 023/021 south and a Headbolt guest stars too. Another 777 twin takes race goers to Aintree 0:52:31 - 033/003 are Ormskirk bound, we join 017/028 back to Sandhills. 021/023 are seen then it's 777 142 that arrives so take advantage of the rarity and charging facilites onboard! 507 011 looks very forlorn in the carriage sidings (will it carry passengers again?) 0:58:13 - Back underground and after a 6 car vacates Central we cut to Hamilton Square for the dodgy camera angle segment. We then partake in 507 029 to Wallasey Village with 016 just visible in Birkenhead North shed. Some 777 rooftops depart North then 507 007 appears so we head to West Kirby. Don't blink or you'll miss the 230 leaving Bidston on the return 1:15:24 - More departing rooftops then extra dodgy camera angles at Moorfields. We now join 507 028 out to Kirkdale 1:21:34 - A shuttle set heads out from Kirkdale to pick up the crowds at Aintree with a flyby for good measure. Some other general scenes (note some shuttles displaying "Grand National") then onto 015 up to Maghull North complete with irritating passengers. A quick hop back to Maghull with 017 follows 1:31:45 - Onto 014 again to eventually make Ormskirk! Town Green/Aughton Park were being served by alternate trains so we miss one out. We see a Northern 150 connecting for Preston then we're back onto 014 for the next southbound, and what an experience that will be! 1:45:38 - Old Roan looks peaceful enough but then its Aintree. At 6pm. WEDGE EXPRESS! We get them all on then head to the city (including someones head apparently). 1:51:17 - time to join 003 (all 12 out had for haulage now!) to eventually arrive at Kirkdale with some more general views including a circling sightseeing plane 1:59:15 - Red Rum 021, attending it's last National chase with 023 perform a lovely sparky Ormskirk bound departure before 015/010 arrive to end our day (always did get a number 10 home!). A slightly different Edge Hill posse of 66 743 (in Royal Scotsman livery) and 69 002 close the video at dusk!

Great video

My vote is Version 1.

A fantastic video, Thank you 😊😊😊
