    Excellent shot and capture there, wonderful sight! Wishing you the best of luck Wednesday, and i suppose
    you will keep us entertained with some of your back catalogue no doubt! See you on the better side, best wishes to you, cheers Nick.

    What is happening at Newport? Lots of temporary fencing on the platforms opposite.......

      Newport station is a building nightmare!! Now apparently it's to remove and clean the canopy glass

    Still seem like new trains to me.
    Some of the 455s on South Western still have the extra trailer cars removed from the 508s to reduce them to 3 cars when they were transferred to Merseyrail.

      Yep but of course they are on the scrap list as well

      I am not sure to be honest this one came as a surprise as didn't see anything telling me this was coming out of Birkenhead until last night.

    On the train 🚆 company circumstances that class 507s and 508s are honestly facing the scrapyard because they are around 43 to 45 years old in 2023 where they were made between 1978 and 1980. They’re had a long life for over 4 decades. Probably scrapyard happens is replaced by the 53 of the 4 car classclass 777s where an option exists for up ⬆️ to a further of 4 car class 777s. All Merseyrail trains 🚆🚆🚆🚆 🚊🚊🚊🚊 🚂 🚂🚂🚂 are standard accommodation only where no toilets 🚽 🚻 and runs daily including public holidays except Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄🤶🤶🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄🎅🎅 Day. However Merseyrail honestly runs on Boxing 🥊 Day from around 0900hrs in the morning until 1830hrs in the evening and runs on New Year’s Day 💥💥💥🎇 🎇 🎇 🎆 🎆 🎆 🍹🍹🍾🍾🍻🍻🥂🥂🍺🍺🧁🧁🍰🍰🎂🎂🎈🎈🎈🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎏🎏🎏🪅🪅🪅. Rest in peace ✌️ ☮️ 3 car class class 507s and 508s. What happens to the 507s and 508s are that they are being recycled ♻️ which means waste not want not. Good 👍 for the environment on planet 🌏 earth 🌍. Although it’s nice 👌 and warm inside the train 🚆. 👍👍👍👊👊👊

    this is because of the new 777s probably

    • @WalesRail
      @WalesRail  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep when I was up there in February I went on one 777 to Kirkby recorded the 508,507's as I expect for the last time

      Yep I must admit the 777 was. Definitely An improvement over the venerable 508/507
