Another unit to be graffitied is 507003 and this one has been severely hit. I think it was the grey side of this unit which was affected as well.

It seems that some one is playing a cat and mouse game with the Merseyrail fleet , I think until someone in the hierarchy of the company decides the sets don't come into service with graffiti on them this is always going to happen , as your giving publicity oxygen to them.

Buses will replace trains for 5 days from 9th March between West Kirby and Bidston

For some reason over the last few years the West Kirby and the top half of the Southport Line seem to have had extensive engineering work done to them , I am just wondering wheter these small big bang way of working is better than continuous weekend work.

Some of this work is probably being done then due to the amount of special events taking place in the coming months which would probably make sunday work unworkable due to the amount of people on the network.

Which buses will be replacement???? Arriva or Stagecoach or Happy Als. I want to know which buses will be.

These days its hard to tell , not all bus replacements go automatically any more to Arriva .

I know Hoylake to Meols is due for track replacement, I'm assuming this is where the work will be done.

Another unit graffitied is 507024 which i noticed this morning 024 is still in the old livery so probably will be due in soon for application of new livery anyway.

How do you eradicate the problem of Graffitti ?
