RE: Merseyrail
Heard a train pass through Maghull station at around 22:50 last night wondering what it was as wouldn't have been a 507 or 508 as Merseyrail passenger services are still finishing at around 19:00 on the Ormskirk line so wondering if it was 777003 out on test or an engineering train? Thanks.

Might be worth looking out the window tonight around the same time to see what it is if you have a view of the tracks.

The second class 777 is due to arrive on Wednesday next week. The train from Dollands Moor has appeared on RTT

RE: Merseyrail

777001 and 002 need some modifications doing to them before they can be sent to the UK , these where the units that had been used on the Wildenrath Test Track

A common theme with stuff coming in new that the first 2 are usually kept back for analysis.

The Wildenrath Test circuit has played host to lots of british trains over the years , im led to believe this was in previous guise an air base at one time .
