Decided to go via Kirkby and change at Sandhills (due to the Kirkby trains terminating at Sandhills). On the whole, I have seen lots of positive comments on social media regarding the organisation of the Aintree festival and trains, entertainment was also provided at Aintree station for those arriving and queuing to leave, plus the return of the flip flops. |

RE: Merseyrail
Does anyone know if there is currently a unit 'stuck' on platform 1 at Hooton - I think this may have been from 2Y03 (from Wednesday morning). I notice the first departure (5C04) from platform 1 on Thursday morning did not start out as usual and 2H02 did not terminate and stable in platform 1 on Wednesday or Thursday night suggesting there is in fact a unit far into the platform which is perhaps unable to be transported to the depot? Anyone know what unit is this and what the problem is please? |

You’re correct about 2Y03 on Wednesday, it was 508139 and was left in Hooton Bay platform with an air leak. Presumably it will be towed to Birkenhead North depot in due course |

RE: Merseyrail
The question I would ask here is how will they keep the brakes off with an air leak and whether 6 coaches would be used to tow 139 for brake force in order to stop the train during the move. |

I don’t know the answer but also any assisting unit(s) will be on the rear from Hooton towards Birkenhead if moved. Maybe they’ll send a fitter out there to try and fix it first. |

Is an air leak a common fault with the 507/508s. I have never known a unit unable to make it back to the depot, if an assisting unit is required its usually rescued straight away. 508139 seems to be taking up stabling space in the bay platform at Hooton. |
