These two units had to have a overhaul to continue in service , which would have required either Merseyrail or Stadler to pay for it , neither seemingly prepared to pay for an overhaul that would have given the train maybe around 12 months of use , would that be value for money in our council tax.

All it means is there is less resilence in the fleet , under normal circumstances its 48 units in service so still enough units out of what is now 57 not 59.

RE: Merseyrail
Is there any news on what the problem is that requires the modifications to be carried out.

RE: Merseyrail
Does anyone know if the test runs of the 777 fleet will be going ahead this Sunday and Monday evening (in between regular passenger service trains)?
