Has 507003 returned from overhaul yet?

507003 is the final 507/8 overhaul.
It was still in Birkenhead North earlier this week, I’ll try to get an update soon

RE: Merseyrail
HST power cars and barriers from last night’s 777 move have been on Kirkdale all day, with an air leak on the locos. Should be moving to Edge Hill tonight

RE: Merseyrail
I thought I’d give an update on the latest 777 fleet details.
So far, 777001 - 010, 012 - 016, 018, 036, 049
777140/42/44/46/48 have arrived. Another 3 will arrive during the first week in August (numbers not yet confirmed- in the past, it has largely been the easiest ones to get out of the yard). Two 508s will be leaving on or about 8th August.

RE: Merseyrail
First class 777 (777018) passenger service on the Wirral line this morning, forming the 0646 Hoylake to Hoylake circular.
It made a few trips before I believe heading back ECS to Kirkdale depot, to help provide additional capacity due to the open golf event taking place at Hoylake over the next few days.
Not sure whether its out to this afternoon on the West Kirby/Hoylake line.
