Had a nice ride on 507020 today (New Brighton line). It has superb growling traction motors in carriage 64424 - not a unit I've generally liked much but today's ride was great. Would possibly suggest 507011 may be the worst current 507. It's a bit slow in the speed department (noticeable on quicker sections of the Southport line today) and absolutely disgusting externally. Worst of a generally very good bunch, IMO.

It was fun and games on 508125 tonight! I was heading to visit my girlfriend on the last West Kirby train when a fight erupted at Hamilton Square. Someone was sick in between the carriages. I wish the security services would man the last trains to the wirral. I live in Liverpool, and reguarlu use the last Ormskirk trains and they are generally quiet . This was not the case tonight.

I regularly use the last chester/ellesmere port trains and its theyre usually ok.
There are usually carlisle support staff around, but i agree a higher presence of them would be nicer in the evenings

There seems to be more problems on the services towards liverpool rather than away normally.
RE: Merseyrail - jtd508110 - 29/06/2013 20:50
I would agree with that most of the time, but they now have Carlisle security on most late services into Liverpool. It is trains towards Wirral where I notoce the problem. I wonder who would be fined for the delay minutes, NR or MR?
RE: Merseyrail - wirralbus - 30/06/2013 07:02
If it was anything that didnt involve infrastructure then it would be Merseyrail that took the delay minutes

"Infrastructure" is rather vague in that, a person hit by a train, or a trespasser etc is associated with Network Rail, even if such person entered via a staffed station etc.
Contrary to popular belief, whilst all delays are "allocated", "compensation" is not always asked to be paid, especially for completely unplanned, but relatively minor delays.

First Class i think that some many people seem to blame the train operating company for most problems , even if it was the infrastructure owners problems , because the train operator is the public face of the railway.

More good reasons to re-nationalise.
RE: Merseyrail - wirralbus - 01/07/2013 11:43
Re-nationalising is not ever going to happen with a Tory administration , not with them being the ones that privatised the railways in the first place.
