It’s the last class 508 is 508104 is currently allocated to ME - Merseyrail because the brand new 🆕 trains 🚂 🚆 🚊 are the 4 car class 777s are currently being delivered as well as the ones in the past and to the future until around the deadline date 📆 📅 is perhaps 🤔 Monday 30th September 2024 at the latest is my guess. All ME - Merseyrail trains 🚂 🚊 🚆 are standard class accommodation only and no toilets 🚽 🚻 on old class 507s, 508s and brand new 🆕 class 777s because they are a short journey that runs all over the county of Merseyside and limited parts of the county is Cheshire travels 🧭 🧳 as far as the city 🌃 of Chester in the northwest of England 🏴. I honestly hope that the railway 🚃 passengers have enjoyed 😊 travelling 🧭 🧳 on the old class 3 car class 507s, 508s and brand new 🆕 4 car class 777s. They are second generation EMU - Electric ⚡️ Multiple Unit trains 🚊, no seat 💺 reservations and railway 🚃 passengers can sit anywhere they like 👍 because first class accommodation doesn’t happen to ME - Merseyrail. ME - Merseyrail runs its services everyday and public holidays except Christmas 🎄🤶 🎅 🧑🎄 Day. Good 👍 train 🚊 company however if the franchise changes in the year 2028 perhaps 🤔, don’t worry 😉 about it because it’s normal. I’m very obsessed 🤩 😍 with trains 🚂 🚆 🚊 and they don’t make me laugh 🤭. Trains 🚊 make me have a straight face 😐 😑 . Without warning ⚠️ ‼️ ⛔️ , railway 🚃 services are damaged because the trains 🚊 are delayed, cancelled 😞 😠 😡 or altered. The reason why most trains 🚆 are cancelled 😠 because there are staff shortages that they could be feeling ill 🤒 🤧 😷 and I’m not joking 🙃. It’s very sad 😞 thing to happen. I’m pretty 😍 sure 👌 ✔️ 👍 that railway 🚃 staff and passengers are looking 👀 forward to the brand new 🆕 4 car class 777s are being delivered to ME - Merseyrail and they are good 👍 because the trains 🚊 have a roof over the heads to stop ✋ people 🧔♂️ 🧔 🧔♀️ 🧑🦲 👵 👱♀️ 👨🦳 👱 from getting wet by rain ☔️ 🌧️ and thunderstorms 🌩️ ⛈️ so it’s nice 👌 and warm inside the trains 🚊. The trains 🚊 must be treated like 👍 a machine and not an embarrassing 🙈 😳 toy 🧸. It’s a serious 🧐 thing to treat the vehicles 🚗 like 👍 machines as they can be extremely vulnerable to break. Enjoy ☺️ travelling 🧭 🧳 on any of the train 🚊 companies and please 🙏 be happy 😊 previously before it’s too late ⏰. Good 👍 luck 🍀. 👍
