Merseyrail Electrics 2

These few scenes show the class 507 units of Merseyrail during their final year of operation in 2024. . The shots at St.Michaels and Aigburth were filmed in January and those at Cressington on 24th.August when 3 pairs of units were in operation. This turned out to be the final weekend of regular service for the remaining 507's on the Hunts Cross to Southport line. 26th.August being the first day in 40 years that not a single 507 worked the system.
Apologies for a few shakes and bumps as all footage was handheld
This video comes just 8 years after my first video on Merseyrail Electrics which can be found here;

Nice video mate! Shame to see the 507's going!

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it

Nicely captured Austin, I like the doodling along the side of the units which promotes the area very well, unfortunately though yet another class rolls into the history file, cheers 👍

[@acw71000]

Many thanks Nige, wish I'd captured some more now at speed between here and Southport but great long lived machines. Whether the new units will last as long remains to be seen!

Missed this somehow Austin 😟A unique piece of history I’d say 👍🎥

[@acw71000]

Thanks Steve, yes I suppose so, one of those things taken for granted but they are part of the areas transport history

Brilliant video mate! Hopefully the 507s will be going on Sunday!

[@acw71000]

Two units will be out on the Wirral tour presumably 507001 will be one of them. Thanks for watching

Looks like i have missed the boat Austin, never been there ither, nice captures, by the way are you sorted now i have been de monatized, but i still dont know why even after an appeal and asking the question, 🤔

[@acw71000]

Trouble is Steve, it's difficult to try and talk to a human at KZbin about the situation. By implication all the videos on my channel aren't mine! No way out of it I'm afraid

[@lnerrules-iw6ry]

Nice Footage there Austin from near to home to you and something different?

[@acw71000]

Thanks Andrew, very close to home and good to capture them before the units were all withdrawn

[@bigbernie7260]

Why has it been called mersey rail when it is has been Dutch owned for years?

[@acw71000]

It isn't Dutch owned, the system operates under franchise like any other rail company
