RE: Merseyrail
The 507s have been taken off the allocation list from the start of this week so I’m sorry I can’t give you an answer.
Perhaps someone can can find the info off a Facebook group?

RE: Merseyrail
As 507001/029 had been prepared for re-delivery, I would guess it should be those that will go later this morning.

507003 & 507023 went this morning, leaving 507001 & 507029 as the final 2 on the network.

The Class 507 preservation society are currently rearranging the road transport to meet 507001 at Sims/Unimetals when it arrives, to transport it to Derby via road.

That’s a fitting ending, this first 507 being the last to go

RE: Merseyrail
The booked LE move from Derby today has been cancelled.
Unless it is going to be rescheduled later as VSTP, its likely the scrap move tomorrow morning will not be running.

Update from the Class 507 preservation society informs a rescheduled date for the move of 507001 and 507029 to Newport for this Thursday, 23rd January. No paths in yet on RTT.
507001 is then due for collection for road transport to Derby the following day.

I attempted to catch a final glimpse of 507029 in the shed at Birkenhead North depot today, but unfortunately there was a 777 blocking the view.

RE: Merseyrail
777 availability has been good so far this week, especially the 777/1 fleet.
Both 777146 and 777152 were employed on the Hunts Cross to Ormskirk line today

RE: Merseyrail
507001/029 finally went off to Newport this morning.
507001 will soon be moved by road to Derby.
I’m told it will stay there for about 12 months then be moved to the Tanat Valley Railway sometime in 2026.
