[@Sim0nTrains]

[@MichaelSebastianTodd]

brilliant its amazing to see Birkenhead Central St James & Birkenhead North again i love the merseyrail netowork lots of lovely stations on the network and i will miss the 507s and 508s and i managed to spend 2 days on the network last year 1 on the Northern and 1 on the Wirral and get loads of shots too and it will be great if some 777s are in service when i return to the North West in September keep up the awesome work

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks Michael, there rumours that they could enter service in the Summer but see how it plays out.

[@ReubenAshwell]

A brilliant video, I love the merseyrail PEP's and it will be sad to see them go. That blooper at the end though lol.

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks Reuben, it was meant for the opening video but what you don't see if that I used 3 different clips from different videos to make that

[@calvinliu6304]

Nice vlog Simon, Great exploring the Merseyrail

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks Calvin

[@TicTacTrolleyServiceTico]

Lol that Blooper at the end, Curse your 2-1 victory over Aston Villa!!!! Anyway enough football. Awesome Vlog! It's goose you managed to visit a backup station to avoid Hunts Cross, Loads of PEPs and it will be sad to see them go, Hence why people are going to go and see them. Looking forward to your next video!

Thanks Tico!

[@RichardBrooke1971]

Thanks for sharing Simon. That woman at the end was bizarre lol.

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks Richard, it was indeed.... awkward

[@SteamboatWilley]

The Wirral is a fascinating place to explore by train and on foot, with quite a few abandoned dock lines alongside the electric commuter network.

[@Sim0nTrains]

Honestly Liverpool is a lovely place to explore, I did check around the old Liverpool Central Station and got a good photo from the car park, some of it is also belongs to Network Rail so Liverpool Central high level is still in railway use of sorts but just offices and car parks

[@train-spotter]

nice video sim!

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thank you

[@anthonymcdonnell5384]

hunts Cross where the Electrics stop used to be 2 lines which went through to Gateacre and Aintree cental

[@jacobporrett]

Great video Simon. Looks like you had a Peptastic day. Photogenic is the word your after.

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks Jacob

[@barrowc]

Awesome video, Cyber! I spent a day riding on the 507s/508s last year and I'll be sorry to see them go. I had only ever seen the entrance to Liverpool Central that's in the shopping area so it's nice to see another side of that station too (even if people occasionally try to walk through your shot)!

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks barrowc

[@ENCTrainspotting]

Great video👍

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks ENC Trainspotting

[@ianr]

Excellent video Simon. 👏 As a new subscriber I'm gradually catching up with your previous videos. Enjoying them very much.

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks Ian

[@ametrinemoon]

Aigburgh? Sounds like you are wanting to say Edinburgh. LOL Aig buth! Even I know how to pronounce this one LOL Been to both anfield and Goodison park for away games. Looks like the stole seats from the away end as when I was at GP, they had wooden seats at the away end?

[@Sim0nTrains]

LOL tried my best to pronounce that one, thanks Ametrine

[@ametrinemoon]

@@Sim0nTrains Your head was in Scotland clearly. Maybe you should have a house up here ;) well in the central belt anyways.

[@SamsVlogstrainsmore]

Great vlog Simon. Nice exploring the Merseyrail network! It will be sad when the PEPS get withdrawn from service but at same time I’m excited for the 777 buzzy bees. I enjoyed watching as always.

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks Sam, hopefully not that long till they enter service

[@DARam4009]

You've got to tell me how you did the animated maps at the beginning.

[@Sim0nTrains]

Just right here a tutorial on KZbin, yep KZbin helped me 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nITIdYhrbbqVd8k

[@marksinthehouse1968]

A design that’s approaching 50 if you go by the prototype PEP still look modern ,the class 455/7 still have a class 508 trailer in the consist ,nice design better than the later 317 based units

[@Sim0nTrains]

They are really getting on but they have served our Railways well.

[@anthonymcdonnell5384]

there is a rare video of the class 503Emu in action on you tube

[@ukrailspotter21]

Great video Simon. What's your favourite PEP?

[@Sim0nTrains]

Tough question but honestly, I like all of them

[@Andrewjg_89]

I’m still waiting for the Merseyrail Class 777 trains to enter service.

[@Sim0nTrains]

Possibly the summer

[@K5NOV]

Great vid Simon do you know when they are going start running the new EMUs on the cross city any longer and they will be out dated they are at least 2 years behind schedule 🤣

[@Sim0nTrains]

I don't know when they will be introduced, however I read that the last Class 323 will be sent to Northern in May 2023, not 100% sure on that one but possibly will be later this year

[@RickyNowis]

Oh the Mersey, always looks epic with their class 507 & 508 units. Such a shame that by summer, they are getting withdrawn? A big shame as they are epic units to be riding on. Nice vlog of Merseyrail :-)

[@Sim0nTrains]

Thanks Ricky

[@MichelleW870]

508111 aka "The Beatles" is being preserved.

[@anthonymcdonnell5384]

Merseyrail should reuse the Liverpool Loop railway which went through Gateacre to Aintree Central

[@anthonyholroyd5359]

I really want to see this network expanded and recognised for what it is. It's basically the 'Merseyside/Liverpool Metro' and should be treated as such.

[@jameshardy4354]

Whens your next live stream Simon

[@MichelleW870]

508111 aka "The Beatles" is being preserved.

[@jameshardy4354]

Yes I have heard this hope its true

[@anthonymcdonnell5384]

Moorfeilds should be replaced as is at capaity reopening Exchange Station Liverpool would be better
