Not really Merseyrail...but was at one time, one of the cars from 508201 (64649) is now at the Emergency Services Training College at Seacombe, visible from the promenade side just south of the car park (mind the stinging nettles!)

The 508's down south that were rumored to have a future up in Merseyside have finally met their fate and the 508/3's are in the process of being scrapped. The first to go was the centre car from ex MR 508121

Could they be stripped of any still useable parts for merseyrails 507/8s while being scrapped or have they already been cannibalised? A sad shame they did not make it back up to merseyrail i know of a few 3 car workings that could have benefitted from being 6 cars. RIP 508s.
RE: Merseyrail - B10B6514 - 13/06/2013 13:04
If you have a look at the Eastleigh Works website all usable parts are salvaged for possible further use during the scrapping process and retained.

MX12 CFE The unit was 508114 which I stupidly forgot to mention.
RE: Merseyrail - wirralbus - 13/06/2013 15:53
The thing is any extra six cars incur a higher track access charge and who is going to pay that charge , Merseyrail or Merseytravel. Merseyrail are only operating what Merseytravel want dont forget this is not a franchise as such but a concession , there is a slight difference.
RE: Merseyrail - H101GEV - 13/06/2013 15:59
Access charges haven't been mentioned when additional six cars have been added to the network in the past (e.g. the two extra PM peak SP-HX pairs in around 2007/08 or six cars on New Brighton/E. Port on December Sundays).
It is sad that the 508s are being scrapped when such potential for further use has always existed here on Merseyside. The expression that springs to mind is 'looking a gift horse in the mouth'.
