New liveried 507027 is on Ormskirks this morning running as a 6 car with 507033.


RE: Merseyrail - H101GEV - 25/03/2014 19:21

Rather unusually, today's 17.13 Liverpool Central - Southport service was not worked by the unit replaced by the first Ormskirk six car. 507033 was the replaced unit, but 507017 which had been spare at Kirkdale turned up on the 17.13 instead.


RE: Merseyrail - WAITING FOR THE 437 - 27/03/2014 15:17

Will all the new livery units be on the Ormskirk line for the Grand National Meeting next week?


RE: Merseyrail - wirralbus - 27/03/2014 16:44

Ther Grand National meeting wont have an effect on what units are put on what routes , one thing is for sure that all available units that are fit for service will be used during the course of the 3 days , this one of the times of the year that when a six car fails it will be replaced by just a three car if it isnt on the Ormskirk line just to keep as many Ormskirk services six cars.

You say that, but the 2008 Grand National meeting saw all four of the Liverpool 08 units used together on the Aintree services. They can allocate units in a particular way if they so wish. It would be a good opportunity to showcase the new livery to those who may not use the train on a particularly regular basis.


RE: Merseyrail - jtd508110 - 29/03/2014 16:56

508139 the latest unit to be wrapped. 507023 is on the road to be wrapped next by the looks of it


RE: Merseyrail - H101GEV - 30/03/2014 11:18

Saw 508139 outside the depot with 507033 yesterday afternoon looking shiny. Another unit was in place for the same treatment at the time but didn't spot a nameplate through the glass. Arguably the two units which need re-vinyl most, 508104 and 508112, were stabled together in the carriage sidings at Southport!

I think we can safely assume the six car services provided last Saturday were for the football, because nothing extra was offered yesterday despite the good weather. Not ideal.

Add 507003 to that list it looks very shabby outside with clear evidence of past graffiti attacks not all of it has been cleaned off it was on Ormskirks yesterday.

Newly liveried 508139 has been tagged on the B coach. Wonder how easy it will be to remove?


RE: Merseyrail - H101GEV - 31/03/2014 13:15

507023 is in position to receive the new livery, but I wonder if they will put the re-livery on hold to maximise unit availability for the forthcoming Grand National meeting?
