RE: Merseyrail
777020/026 moved from Warrington to Kirkdale last night, leaving 777152 at Warrington until 507/8s are sent away. Space is very tight at the present time

Has 508117 & 508130 already been withdrawn?
I heard they were suppose to go for scrap on Monday but unsure whether this is still the case?

Thanks for the confirmation. Any idea what 508117s last service was please?
Was it 2R50 2319 Ellesmere Port to Hamilton Square
I think 508130s was 2S15 0936 Hunts Cross to Southport?

508117 was allocated to the New Brighton line (circuit 10) but could’ve been swapped on the day and 508130 to the Southport line (circuit 30). 2S15 is part of that circuit so you may well be correct.
out of curiosity, what system have you used to find this info?

I knew what diagram 508130 was working on Saturday from a sighting of this unit.
I then tracked where this unit was working using the RTT website over the past few days.
I noticed the unit from 2S15 did not seem to work the return out of Southport so surmised it must have been swapped.

Do you know a headcode which is part of the New Brighon 10 circuit you mentioned above so I can try and see if there appeared to be a unit swap at New Brighton on Tuesday please?

507017 went ECS from BN to NBN at about 1300 (5T67) to do a changeover with 508117 (5T68). The final working of circuit 10 is 2N59
