Am not sure exactly whats wrong with it, just that its something related to the Gearbox

Im wondering whether it may be a problem with the changeover from the electric pull away to the diesel engine kicking in , some of the old Birkenhead examples had a bad changeover.

Saw it in Bebington about 0820ish, found out it went onto the 175 afterwards so headed to Heswall for a shot

From what I have seen, the Liverpool-bound 487 is loaded and rammed with Wirral Grammar School kids at this time of the morning, all travelling from Neston and Thornton Hough. The service is renowned for running late, hence why there is a duplicate between Neston and Birkenhead only at 0800 in the morning.

Is 717 a swap with 3000 then which was on the 329 from St Helens earlier?

Whats the main difference between the solo's that Birkenhead have for that work in Heswall and 717.
