I was reading online that 003 is the last remaining one in service now due to its new camera equipment (I seen photos but anyone have any idea what that camera fitted on its front window is actually for?)

507003 and 507029 have both been active this week

507023 was also in service last week until it failed at Birkenhead Central on Saturday.

507007/018 should’ve been moved for scrap this morning but there were problems with the loco and the move was cancelled

507003/029 were booked out on one of the morning Southport 6 cars circuits today - no confirmation if they actually ran though!

Fault with the heater I believe

The trains that are 507s of late are the 0803 SOU to LVC and 0902 return and 1603 SOU to LVC and 1702 return.
Now that 507018 has been withdrawn it’s 003 and 029 that have been based at Southport for these workings. Can’t guarantee it’s Mon to Fri but seems to be most of these days during November

507007/018 are now booked to leave Birkenhead North Depot next Monday at 0554 for Newport.

The 'regular' 507 diagram on the Southport line has been covered by a 777 yesterday PM and in both peaks today, suggesting the old guard may have run for the last time.
