Merseyrail Class 507 018 West Kirby Cover - Inside Cut - 14/10/2024

[@mrcjw9]

Thanks for sharing. I particularly enjoyed the inside fotage and the last part with the ECS move. May have been 507018's last time in passenger as well.

thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it ha Yeah, it's high chance this was 018's last run. :/

507018 is withdrawn now, However I have a suspicion it might come out of withdrawal when they need one out and realise that none of the other 507’s are fit for service

[@FrisiaBonn]

yeah 018 was actually being withdrawn and readied for scrap, so I heard. But they required her back out so... Hopefully this rumour about 001's full diagram day on the 1st is right and we get her for a full day before the tour. I hear that after this tour, they won't be running any more 507s at all. I know they've said this before but I think they're very serious on the tour being the literal last running of the unit.

@@FrisiaBonn507018 was ready to be withdrawn, Came back out again and is now withdrawn. Im going to miss this unit. It probably wont run again but I hope so

@@Cspotting_ I love it too. on the 24th August, the last official day for normal 507s ops, the last unit I stepped off was 018. 507 003 & 507 018 2027 2U60 from Southport. I have asked if I could buy a footplate from 018 but Angel Trains said they don't do that and Merseyrail don't really answer anything. :( lol
