[@FrisiaBonn]

thanks!

[@hArDsTyLe2259]

5:00 You know the schedule of these diesel trains?

[@southWesternYT]

The 507s are still in service! Which line are they on and for how long I wonder

[@FrisiaBonn]

@@southWesternYT covering. Right now, I am on 507 029 at Southport. 507 018 (shocker) is on Chester. They're covering broken 777s

[@southWesternYT]

@@FrisiaBonn Oh. So not in official service then?

[@FrisiaBonn]

@@southWesternYT no. That ended on 24th August. Now it's just cover until they go for scrap.

[@southWesternYT]

@@FrisiaBonn Good to know 👍

[@jameshardy4354]

Is 507003 staying or is it getting scrapped do you know

[@FrisiaBonn]

It's a "watch this space" thing haha Just seems weird to spend that amount of money on a unit you're going to just scrap anyway 🤔

[@jameshardy4354]

@@FrisiaBonn I dint think merseyrail will want to keep a 507 running there running out of 507 508 compressors

[@FrisiaBonn]

@@jameshardy4354 they don't. They want them all gone. They want to see the back of them even though they're holding the services together now and then. This mayor is a pleb and it's all about "image" these days, not a working service. Utter gimp. If 003 survives, it won't be under Merseyrail. Merseyrail is clear on that. Have no idea who would take it and why, but something isn't right about 003.

@FrisiaBonn correct merseyrail don't care about there 40 odd year service of liability now there yesterday's news sadly
