4492, 4493, 4497, 4499 & 4500 also noted out (I';m sure they've been reported elsewhere on this forum....but form completeness, listed here as well), and 3133 is still around too.

I keep thinking they should be branded as Under-River as they technically speaking go under the Mersey!

Under-River seems a bit clunky, and besides, Cross River has been used for years hasn't it? I remember Cross River Express branding on the Palatine IIs, was this a thing before then as well?
