Class 507 Farewell Tour (Northern Line) ‘The Sefton Sparkler’ !! 03/11/24

[@Hightowntrain_spotter.]

Amazing!! 👍I think I saw you at southport for the final farewell. I didn’t speak to you because I was in a rush to get to a good spot on the platform to see it off!! 😅

@@Hightowntrain_spotter. oh ok haha. No problem haha 👍🏻. See you at some point then haha. The last departure was pretty good 😊

[@___Wrench___]

I came all the way from Latvia to see my favourite trains go, I was expecting plenty of tones but I received some.

The 507s definitely got the farewell they deserve (not) 😂

[@bebingtontrainspotter07]

@@bptrains i know haha. They did on the Wirral Line, and on the last departure on the Northern Line!!! Shame it wasn’t Horn Blazing all day like the Wirral One haha!! Maybe not enthusiasts blowing it constantly, but definitely the Train Crew! I dont see any problem with that….

[@divgradcurl9439]

You have a great historical record of the 508s and 507s for the future! Are any 507 units being retained for the time being?

[@bebingtontrainspotter07]

@@divgradcurl9439 indeed i do ! There are currently 6 left. All of wich will be withdrawn throughout this month and next month as their lease ends towards the end of December 😢. The crazy part is, these proper units are replacing these so called ‘state of the art super future trains’ when they consistently break!!!! So the units that work are going, unfortunately. And quickly!!

[@jameshardy4354]

@bebingtontrainspotter07 that's been loads of 777 failers recently I just don't know what's going to happen when the rest of the 507s go

[@garethaethwy]

507 001 is being preserved by at the Tanat Valley Light Railway in Shropshire, search 507 Preservation Society for all the gen

I wish merseyrail had kept them in original condition like the original head lights
