All are good choices in my opinion. I'm looking forward to seeing who is chosen and whether the design that's shown in that article is the one that is used

I would like a livery that is more the livery the house calls of merseytravel / merseyrail , im not a fan of the present livery.

To be honest most of the main contenders are in that list.

It be nice if the old merseyrail livery returns suited trains better not a fan of the refurbished livery looked better in origional grey , white and yellow livery

The refurbished livery looks too much like an advert .

I do like the two overall advertisment trains , but wonders whether that at the end of the train's life will be the end of those adverts though.

507013 and 508131 are running as a 6 car unit on the Ormskirk line this morning but ran into technical difficulties on the first trip from Liverpool to Ormskirk. The train was already a couple of minutes late arriving at Maghull where i boarded but just after leaving maghull the train slowed down and stopped the guard announcing there was a technical fault with the train and they were trying to rectify it. After a few minutes we moved off again and made it through to Ormskirk the driver used the phone on the platform presumably to report the fault. Anyone know if this unit is still out? Thanks.

507021 has had 'Red Rum' nameplates fitted.
