  • Wigan - Liverpool - Chester | Circular Route (03/03/23). I was in the mood to do another circular route, and this one was made extra fun by rides on the new Merseyrail 777 and TfW 197.

    Port Sunlight is a social gem, how life could be lived so many years ago. The PEPs are great, will be missed. BTW if you want a good view of the Mersey try Catalyst in Widnes. Great video, thanks

    Hi G,
    I liked Wigan the couple of times I've been there...I enjoy the trips that both you and Jen on the move do as they bring back memories of when I was working in those areas and riding the rails. Loved that Merseyrail, I was quite impressed.
    Take care,
    Jon B.

    I did the Chester end of the Wirral line to the centre of Liverpool back in August when I went to Making Tracks 2 at Chester Cathedral, and can confirm, only half the trains stop at a couple of those stations, whereas all trains stop at the rest.
    I'm looking forward to doing more MerseyRail when I go to Making Tracks 3 this summer, and hopefully sampling the 777s for the first time (and maybe riding a 197 for the first time too, depending on how long we stay there and how much rail travel we do).
    Was hoping to do more London stations today, but the weather and the strikes put me off (although all services on my local line seem to be running)

    Circular routes are fun to do. There are untold numbers of circular routes possible here in the Home Counties. I travelled around the Wirral before the PEPs arrived, must go back and travel on a "Buzzy Bee". Love the energy you show in your vlogs, jolly, fun and entertaining. Inspiration to us all. Great one G, Ray xx

    Here is a quick one for you (excuse the pun!) St Pancras (or Stratford Intl) to St Pancras (or Stratford Intl) on the same train without alighting (you coudl if you wish) including a ride on HS1, the fastest track in the UK. This service runs as a loop and includes highlights like the tunnel between Dover & Folkestone, riding past Samphire Hoe (reclaimed land made with spoil from the Channel Tunnel) projecting out into the sea and of course Dreamland in Margate.

    Plus the announcement on the TfW Class 197 Civity that have the Welsh announcements is it’s quite funny to hear those announcements in Welsh. 😂

That Merseyrail voice on the 777 you went on sounds different but still sounds like it's Julie Berry to me. I'm hoping to ride the 777's myself soon now that more are in service. :)
