Having been on the farewell charter it was lovely to see you at Southport and hear about some of the trouble you had chasing the tour! Given a 507 took me to Southport the night before they certainly were struggling last weekend with working 777s!
brilliant vlog i had a few trips on the Merseyrail network in September & it was really weird not seeing any PEPs o the network & they will be missed & 507001 looks amazing in its retro livery shame i didnt get to see it in the flesh for myself
I grew up with these trains in 2005 i have grew up my entire life around them im so gutted they had to end on the 25th year ive known them, gunna miss the 507/508s with all my soul, great video man.
What a great day you had on the merseyrail Network Simon. Glad I could chase the 507's round with you in the later half of the day and glad you got some good shots, Cheers from Jack!
Farewell Class 507 you will be missed forever. The Class 507 have done such a wonderful job on Merseyrail and it’s a shame that they are now to be retired and to be scrapped. Since the Class 777s have now entered service.
I do like the Class 507 in BR blue livery. I will miss them so much since the Class 777s have entered service on the Northern Line and Wirral Line. Farewell Class 507. 1978-2024.
nice one simon. we love our Merseyrail. i have a free pensioner pass and can sit on the lines all day long plus the Mersey ferries and any buses that come my way it's a great life when you are older believe me. southport to chester for nothing! mersey ferry in summer with a few pints on board,,heaven!
Just to let you know simon, that a coach from 508201 is at the East Kent Light Railway, and that will work passenger services first and then as a translator coach for 313201 which is also going to the EKR
Was great to hangout with you Simon and to see what a great community can do as a whole for such an event!
Well, once again, Simon makes the most of a bad situation and turns it into a masterpiece
That was a long day but despite the issues, it looked fun! And also, as you say, looks like a great community following that train around!
Thanks MrGreatPlum, it moments like this what makes this hobby great 👍
Thank you Class 507 for your service and thank you SimOnTrains for your contribution to their farewell trip.
Thank you and thank you for watching

Lovely seeing the 507s galloping through Aintree. Great video documenting the tour, even if it required a lot of on the moment changes.

Sad to see the 507s finish, but 46 years service is a magnificent achievement

Thank you for informing me, but I already knew as I've seen work being started on 508201
the lovely Simon always great content oh Glasgow grew epic
Sefton Sparkler Drivers eye view coming soon...
Looking forward to it as I did see a teaser on Facebook
It's always a bit saddening to see old trains being retired, to a certain extent I even miss pacer buses lol. Thank you for sharing your day Simon.
Thank you, it is a shame seeing the old trains go, but the Railways have to progress.
@@Sim0nTrains Yes, sadly, nothing lasts forever.
When does it ever go right with you?
No... lol and I love it that way
hate the paper in the thumbnail? Lol. Shame I couldn't make it, I'll make it for the 455 farewell tour though, might see you there If you go.
That's me tearing up the plan 😂 not sure about the SWR Class 455 Farewell yet
at least a 507 will be preserved and it will be 507001
It will be but also will be at Rail 200 at Derby next year
Great video! What camera do you use?
6
Last week was 7.... would next week be 5 😂 I know you were the 6th comment 👍
Great video Simon
Thank you
