It went from Kirkdale depot to Ellesmere Port, then returned to Ellesmere Port (reversing at Birkenhead Central), then went onto Birkenhead North deport travelling around the loop for the first time, then after visiting the depot, 1 hour or so later, had a final run to Ellesmere Port and then back over to Kirkdale depot.
The paths for the testing of the new trains do not feature on RTT, it was running as 5T01.

I stand corrected

Unsure which one but the 777 was reported earlier today in France.

Indeed first time that's ran in months. It uses the same light engine path that the 777 delivery run is using.

RE: Merseyrail
Some disruption on the Ormskirk Line yesterday evening due to a trespasser on the track in the Maghull area. services were delayed for around 15 mins while the power was turned off and the trespasser removed from the tracks. I was on the 16.07 from Ormskirk which was held just outside Maghull station.

There have been a number of reports of misuse of the level crossing at Maghull station by vehicles and pedestrians over the past few weeks. British Transport Police posted a tweet a few days back highlighting them monitoring the use of the level crossing with a camera.
Was this trespass incident to do with the level crossing at Maghull?

Not sure if the trespass incident was associated with the level crossing. A few days ago I was waiting on the platform at Maghull for the 07.08 train to Ormskirk to go to work. the lights and siren on the crossing had been going for a few seconds and a car shot straight over the crossing at speed just as the barriers had begun to drop.
