RE: Merseyrail
I think now its got to the Committee Meeting of Merseytravel they must see a big enough potential for it , its just a case of wait and see now . It will take a lot of pressure off the existing Car Park at Maghull hopefully which is full to bursting point and can not accommodate most off peak travellers during the week , which must be exasperating for those passengers who don't want to take there car all the way into Liverpool. |

RE: Merseyrail
If the pictures of the refresh and the refreshed carriages look the same then it looks good . Somebody now needs to find out from Merseytravel how long these units are now expected to remain in service , by the looks of that refresh for a good while yet. |

From their latest press release: All options, which include a new fleet to extensive rework of the existing stock, are being considered. Options will be put forward for political approval in the near future. http://merseyrail.org/media/296476/Inter...efresh.pdf - Hopefully they will sort out some new trains before the decade is out! |

Just to clarify; my optimism only extends so far as Merseyrail actually making some sort of decision as to ordering new trains. If they can't do that in the next 5 years then there really is no hope! |

There seems to be some sort of damage limitation exercise going on at the moment with a big emphasis on reengineering of the current fleet being emphasized. Even the MD of Merseyrail did it.... |

RE: Merseyrail
I think that if you look at re-engineering the units , it really does mean that the amount of trains available to use per day will drop . Is this in the short time going to lead to some service reductions . Remember when the RMT Trade Union got there hands on what they had been told was service reductions , to services on the Hooton and Southport lines , which was quickly squashed. |
