RE: Merseyrail
Someone will have to persuade the ORR first - unlikely if battery power proves feasible. |

RE: Merseyrail
The Merseyrail brand reportedly celebrates its 50th anniversary today (03/05) and perhaps in recognition of this the Royal Special pairing of 507001 and 507002 was at work on the Southport line yesterday (02/05). Their diagram finished at Southport so they should be together today (03/05) as well. I had an enjoyable afternoon chasing them down and managed a few clips. Both units are still in the finest fettle despite nearing 43 years in service.

RE: Merseyrail
It was confined to platform 1 which was empty at the time of the pot fire |

RE: Merseyrail
So if I understand correctly, it was 1 of the 3rd rail supports that went up was it ? I never thought they would burn like that |

RE: Merseyrail
Sounds like a major headache for the staff there because isn't platform 1 also used for services as well as stabling units when they're not in service |

RE: Merseyrail
At the moment the service can be accommodated with two platforms. Anyway platform 1 is back in use now |
