There sounds like there is a fair few units starting to feel the effects of the autumn leaf fall season , its this part of the season where you start to get the start of wheelflats , caused when trains struggle to either stop or have a terrible time starting as the wheels go round with no forward motion.
RE: Merseyrail - H101GEV - 26/10/2013 11:34
508117 was suffering from noticeable wheelslip yesterday while working the 17.13 Southport - Hunts Cross service and arrived late with its previous journey. That said, it rode well otherwise.
I must say that there were a lot of wheelflats over the summer period, especially units like 508137.
RE: Merseyrail - wirralbus - 26/10/2013 14:23
I am mystified as to how units manage to get bad wheelflats in the Summer , to get them then there has to be something else wrong with the units .

Merseyrail deciding performance (PPM) takes priority over scheduled maintenance (tyre turning etc) I would imagine.
I suspect they'd rather send a defective* unit into service than cancel the diagram (and suffer PPM failure) because they can't cover the unit(s).
*Defective obviously doesn't mean unsafe.

At Southport today, a lot of units went up and down to Kirkdale on ECS, anyone know why? I would have thought it was to do with autumn leaf fall failures.
RE: Merseyrail - MX12CFE - 27/10/2013 13:18
Yesterday and today all trains on the ormskirk line have been 6 cars which is unusual for a weekend. Southports were 3 cars was nice to have 6 cars for ormskirks on a Saturday anyone know why this is?

MPV DR98903/53 went through Hightown at 16:23 heading to Southport on RHTT. Does anyone know if these are the times for the RHTT service to Southport each day?

up to Ormskirk arriving 1854, departing 1858
goes right through to Hunts Cross via Liverpool Central, arriving 2002
then goes to Kirkby, again via Liverpool Central, arriving 2057, dep 2101

There is quite a few times where the Wirral MPV has run earlier than it is booked .
At times its easier for the Network Rail to allow the MPV to operate early if the MPV presents itself at Chester early particularly on the morning run as paths become hard to find on the Hooton line at the best of time with the ECS as well.
