508104 out in service on SOP-HNX services today.
It looks like 508108 and 508114 may be the next units to go for scrap next week.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, the move isn’t next week - it’s been put back till the 15th.
All three have seen service this week so we’ll have to wait and see which ones go

508114's last working was the 2151 Hunts Cross to Southport on Wednesday 03/01.

I was the last of its passengers to alight. There was then confusion amongst staff at Southport as to whether or not it was to couple with 507017 which arrived on the following service. After discussion, 114 was not coupled with 507017 which ran the 2318 to Liverpool Central alone and the 508 was put into the sidings overnight.

RE: Merseyrail
Ok thanks for that.
I can only go by what it SHOULD have ended up on, so it must have been swapped on to a different circuit at some point during the day.

RE: Merseyrail
No problem at all. The allocations from Southport are nothing if not unpredictable, rarely playing out as allocated on TOPS etc.

114 worked the service you mentioned, then remained at Southport until it worked the 2042 to Hunts Cross and 2151 return.
