Merseyrail is the best Metro Rail company in UK! Fact! The new 777 class trains are owned by the Metro Region and the whole we be brought back into public ownership ship when the Stadler/Abeilio contract expires. The old 507/508 class are used only in emergency now. The 777d are great for wheelchair users - level ride on and dedicated spaces. Many Merseyrail stations are fully accessible using ramps or lifts. I can even fit in the small platform lift at Liverpool James St! I get on/off at Birkenhead North which has 630 car park spaces and 35 Blue Badge bays! Some of the 777s have battery power and allow them to travel to Headbolt Lane on the unelectrified section. I look forward to further extensions in the future such as Widnes or Helsby or Woodchuch, Wirral. I've been on the Southport and Ormskirk lines in my powered wheelchair! Great! Highly recommended!

What was the last time they ran on the metro

507018 always has and always will be my favourite 507

A brilliant video, much enjoyed and much appreciated. 😊😊😊

Sitting In the front left seat on the 400 to the airport or the 184 to Uppermill. Classic.

i saw this on the 590 service a few times Rochdale to Halifax can just image this if still in PSV use been used to Huddersfield on the 184 service

1:42:39 Ignore me awkwardly bimbling past you there! 🤣

I remember these buses and exact livery when I used to catch the 427 into Oldham in the late 90's early 00's 👌🏼Either a Leyland Olympian, Atlantean or an MCW Metrobus 🙂

Great video mate

A great video . I'll miss the 507,608,s.I haven't made my mind up regards the 777,s just yet. But the pep,s had character. 😊😊😊

Brings back memories for me riding on GM Buses in the 90's. That distinctive Metrobus gearbox whining noise as it changes down when coming to a stop 🙂

That sound brings so many memory's loved the sound so much

...and the timestamps are off!!!... 0:00:01 - Inbound to Liverpool the Edge Hill 60 posse are 021 and 087 today 0:00:24 - 507 029 departs for New Brighton then 007 turns up on a West Kirby train! We nip to Central and see some 777 departures, with one terminating at Rock Ferry 0:06:27 - Obeying the sign we first see 507 033/003 leave for Ormskirk then 507 023/021 arrive. A surprise is 777 142 departing for Southport! We join 507 021 up to Kirkdale 0:11:23 - 507 city at Kirkdale. 021/023 depart north and 015/010 arrive south. The last chance to capture scenes like this unfortunately so make the most. Next in northbound is 507 028/017 so join 017 up to Orrell Park 0:17:35 - The next southbound, and 5th set out is "big blue" 507 001 with 014. We pick 014 to journey down to Sandhills. The train reverses here due to running late so I now join the 001 end (check out the full empty coach at this point!) alighting at Old Roan 0:27:04 - 014/001 head to Ormskirk with 017/028 returning to Liverpool. Next southbound is 015/010 with 033/003 crossing us here, again a scene soon to disappear 😞. We elect for 010 and hop to Aintree to see ppl preps well in hand with some groovy Merseyrail ads on show too 0:32:56 - Fittingly its "Red Rum" 021wih 023 in next so head to Maghull at the 023 end before swapping for 033 (trailing 003 - loving all these 6-cars!) back to Kirkdale 0:45:38 - Some Kirkdale happenings now with an 8 car 777 heading out to form an Aintree shuttle whilst 777 002 has a spruce up in the carriage wash. 014/001 head back north, 023/021 south and a Headbolt guest stars too. Another 777 twin takes race goers to Aintree 0:52:31 - 033/003 are Ormskirk bound, we join 017/028 back to Sandhills. 021/023 are seen then it's 777 142 that arrives so take advantage of the rarity and charging facilites onboard! 507 011 looks very forlorn in the carriage sidings (will it carry passengers again?) 0:58:13 - Back underground and after a 6 car vacates Central we cut to Hamilton Square for the dodgy camera angle segment. We then partake in 507 029 to Wallasey Village with 016 just visible in Birkenhead North shed. Some 777 rooftops depart North then 507 007 appears so we head to West Kirby. Don't blink or you'll miss the 230 leaving Bidston on the return 1:15:24 - More departing rooftops then extra dodgy camera angles at Moorfields. We now join 507 028 out to Kirkdale 1:21:34 - A shuttle set heads out from Kirkdale to pick up the crowds at Aintree with a flyby for good measure. Some other general scenes (note some shuttles displaying "Grand National") then onto 015 up to Maghull North complete with irritating passengers. A quick hop back to Maghull with 017 follows 1:31:45 - Onto 014 again to eventually make Ormskirk! Town Green/Aughton Park were being served by alternate trains so we miss one out. We see a Northern 150 connecting for Preston then we're back onto 014 for the next southbound, and what an experience that will be! 1:45:38 - Old Roan looks peaceful enough but then its Aintree. At 6pm. WEDGE EXPRESS! We get them all on then head to the city (including someones head apparently). 1:51:17 - time to join 003 (all 12 out had for haulage now!) to eventually arrive at Kirkdale with some more general views including a circling sightseeing plane 1:59:15 - Red Rum 021, attending it's last National chase with 023 perform a lovely sparky Ormskirk bound departure before 015/010 arrive to end our day (always did get a number 10 home!). A slightly different Edge Hill posse of 66 743 (in Royal Scotsman livery) and 69 002 close the video at dusk!

Great video

Nice video my favourite station is hamilton square and my favourite platform 3 and i like the trains coming out of the tunnel arriving in

A very interesting video, thank you for you for uploading this video 😊😊

A great video.Thank you for uploading this 😊😊

Good to know you're kicking, pally 🙂 Wish you'd say a bit on these videos and let us see you though! Maybe at the end of the next one 😊

Some thoughts about the old versus new debate. It's getting quite de rigeur at this point in proceedings to indulge in some 777 hate-bashing but I really don't want to join in - I can't say that I hate them, just that they leave no impression on me whatsoever. The enthusiast in me willl never rate them like their predecessors but that is as much for the nostalgic and treasured memories I have of days spent on Merseyrail, particularly with my Gran going off on tonnes of Summer Saveaway/Zone Ticket adventures. It was a cheap day out for her, and I was fascinated by Liverpools own "London Underground" and the trains that operated it. Plus all the different bus types that we encountered on all those very handy circular services that you could go and get on just before the evening peak restrictions started at 4 and get back off in town at around twenty to 6 and head off to Wimpys. The units themselves I did think were simply fantastic (especially the ones that went ticka-ticka-ticka like the 304s, had mysterious blanked off door panels and plunged you into semi darkness whenever you went over a current gap!) but they were of a basic design that is now quite outdated. They were built well, and their longevity has proved that to all but they are certainly not modern. Wifi, charging points and easy access are not just expected but in daily use virtually everywhere else on the UK rail network and the people of Merseyside deserve to have all those perks just like anywhere else. The new trains are just that...new. These days that means complicated electronics, safety systems and much else. Yes, their introduction has been somewhat prolonged, for several reasons, but once they...eventually..... settle down (and they are beginning to do that now) they will become perfectly acceptable, stylish units forthe people of Liverpool and its environs. I'd certainly take one over a 331 any day. The thing that will take a long time to win me, and many enthusiasts over, is the lack of CHARACTER. That is what the old guard had in spades and they'll be a difficult act to follow (I'm sure there are many out there who said exactly the same things about the 502/503s being withdrawn and their replacement with our beloved 507s and 508s!). The worst thing a train can have is no character and sadly very little "modern" stock does (honourable exceptions being the quite frankly MYLORDS class 68s!) So there's no hatred towards 777s from me, but there's no attachment to them either. There's definitely some quirks to them and maybe over time that will develop into a following. I'll believe it when I see it, however.

And now this too has gone for scraps

Now this was the oldest one left when I worked there, and was a star performer! And listen out there folks, its fully automatic, changing gear without a 3 month pause!

Good to see you're still enjoying the rails after all these years. They should make you the UK's Honorary Rail Ambassador 🙂

I needed to know why they don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and include the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 67 Octagon and Every 37 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 18 Tonnes for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!! And Please do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
