During the August Bank Holiday a trip to Liverpool was made to ride on the Merseyrail Network to visit three stations on the Northern Line and three stations on the Wirral Line and ride some Merseyrail Trains.
Also in the video is to see Merseyrail Class 508, 508111 The Beatles in the Beatles Story livery one final time as the unit is planned to be withdrawn in September and the whole trip was to see this unit one last time.
The six Stations are Kirkdale, Bootle Oriel Road, Bootle New Strand, Birkenhead Park, Spital and Bebington but also took a quick detour to the Museum of Liverpool to see Liverpool and Manchester Railway Lion which stared in the Titfield Thunderbolt.

Latest Update on 508111. The unit has been withdrawn but tomorrow (11th September) The unit is will be leaving Birkenhead North Depot to Crewe South Yard for Storage as Newport Docks is full at the moment while scrapping units.

how do you get news on the scrap movements and the units going on them?

@RainhamRailEnthusiast 11 ай бұрын

Thoroughly entertaining video, good captures of 508111 as well. Amazing how well made plans can change on the day.

Good job you went on this as I believe now this train is at the depot waiting to go to scrap

@Sim0nTrains 11 ай бұрын

Didn't rode on the unit but I did end up finding it. The latest is that Monday it will be leaving Birkenhead Depot but going to Crewe for Storage as the Scrap Yard in Newport is full at the moment.

For your info; Bootle New Strand was called Marsh Lane and Strand Road, cos I used to work there!! (Many moons ago!) Very interesting video. Well done!! Regards Ns

@Sim0nTrains 11 ай бұрын

Thank you and will admit that I did get that wrong as I wrote 'Marsh Lane and New Strand' on my notes when typing them the night before filming

@SamsVlogstrainsmore 11 ай бұрын

Great vlog Simon, I enjoy visiting the Merseyrail network, sadly I filmed Chester Station that day and got no PEPS as result of the flooding. I enjoyed watching as always.

@Andrewjg_89 11 ай бұрын

I will still miss the Merseyrail Class 508 and the Class 507 as more Class 777 trains are in service. And the Class 777 are very nice.

Dam, those 777 units do look in their own league. You got lucky seeing 508111 Beatles livery. A shame the 507/508's are on borrowed time. A lovely railway journey along the Merseyrail :-)

@ReubenAshwell 11 ай бұрын

Brilliant video Cyber, really is sad to see that the Beatles story PEP has now been withdrawn as of when this video goes up. Good to see you were able to come up with a new plan when the first one wasn't possible.

Great video, Simon! It's good that people are capturing lots of the PEPs before they disappear for good. Nice work in fixing your own melons up moment too!

Great stuff, Simon. I know nothing really of Mersey rail (except that the new trains look fantastic!) - for those of us who don’t know Merseyside at all, is it possible to show a map of the stations you visited in the video please?

@TransportVloggerIan 11 ай бұрын

I got a feeling that that livery will go on a 777 but problem is, it won't be the same

@jacobporrett 11 ай бұрын

508111 has now been retired Simon. Looks like you had a good time.

@JBS319 11 ай бұрын

I should hope that one of the 777s is given the Beatles wrap to replace 508 111 at some point.

@ryandarbyshire5046 11 ай бұрын

508111 is supposed to be withdrawn tomorrow, leaving Birkenhead Depot around 11:55

@Sim0nTrains 11 ай бұрын

Yes and no, it is leaving Birkenhead Depot tomorrow but it heading to Crewe for Storage as Newport Docks is full at the moment and once space is made then it will go to Newport Docks to be scrapped

@ryandarbyshire5046 11 ай бұрын

Yeah, looked into it a bit more and edited my comment slightly before I saw this reply. Didn't know it wasn't been scrapped because Newport is full, thanks for that info.

Crikey .. I am just looking up details on the computer regarding the Merseyrail Saveaway ticket when your notification pinged on my phone. Do you know whether the Saveaway ticket is valid on the main train route from Chester to Liverpool ? My wife and I will soon be having a short break in Manchester, then in Liverpool and I was thinking about making the short trip to Chester before heading to Liverpool

@Sim0nTrains 11 ай бұрын

It valid on Liverpool to Chester via Merseyrail, not valid on Liverpool to Chester via Transport for Wales (only as far as Liverpool South Parkway), between Hooton and Chester the saveaway can only be used on the trains and not other methods of public transport

@brianmorrison9168 11 ай бұрын

@@Sim0nTrains Many thanks for your very quick reply. According to the merseyrail website .. "Covering bus, train and ferry, the Saveaway offers you flexibility to choose which modes of transport best suit your travel needs"

Think I heard a date 2nd December that the last Class 508s will be withdrawn but not 100% sure on that one.

@Sim2500 11 ай бұрын

what entrance is that?

@Sim0nTrains 11 ай бұрын

If it the one when I'm taking with the entrance behind it outside Liverpool Central Station, it a entrance/exit on Fairclough Street as it can be more quieter, plus the road that i'm standing on takes cars to a Network Rail's Liverpool Central Access Depot which is a private road (I'm standing on the public part) But the access Depot has taken over the site of the former Liverpool Central High Level Station.
