Trains around the Wirral Line (INC 507002, 508111, 777001 !)

Today i went around Merseyrail’s Wirral Line and met lots of friendly drivers who without hesitation blew some tones (I’m sure Merseyrails management will love it)
I was accompanied by ‪@burnsyrail7616‬ on this day. Thanks for the company as per usual !

Great video, and one that will serve as a time capsule in years to come. Thanks for making it public.

[@bebingtontrainspotter07]

Thank you, indeed it will. No problem 😉

I see you have 508131 (formerly 508031) on video. The unit that went through a concrete block buffer stop, a brick wall, and hit a traffic light at a road junction at Shepperton in 1982 when it was on a service from Waterloo (London).
