A look at parts of the Merseyrail Wirral Line that were originally part of the Wirral Railway. Unlike the Mersey Railway, the Wirral Railway was included in the 1922 grouping and became part of the LMS. It was not electrified until 1938 and many of us fondly remember the LMS electric units, some of which remained in service until 1985.
The line was then operated by class 508 units, which later became part of a common pool with the class 507 units from the Southport line. By the date of this visit all of the 508s had been withdrawn and the service was being operated by some remaining 507s and the new Stadler class 777s.
