Another great video G, and great to see you on my local rail network again! I don't know if you are aware, but when you are getting off a 777 you can press the button to open the door before it goes green. You can even press it before the train stops, and the door will still open.
Great vlog G, Back to my old stomping ground, nice to see you on the 'scary' Merseyrail underground, to be fair you didn't look that scared anymore. Nice views across the Mersey to the Wirral and Hilbre Island is a stop off for winter wildfowl and wading birds, you can walk to the islands at low tide (takes about an hour) Nice to see you got to ride some Busy Bees but it will be a sad day when the last of the PEP's make their final journey (It was the same when the 502's/503's where replaced by the PEP's)
Remember visiting F.... Former Simonswood Station a wild G appeared. That when you were doing the North West Series that was ages ago! But was easier to visit them in order from the starting point than going back and forth like a headless chicken with their knickers around their neck as they got no head! lol Great video.
Our G still seems oblivious to stuff like rain and hail etc., irrispective of where she's wearing her knickers - Yet still she claims the sun aways shines on Merseyrail!
Fun video, G! They really need to put "Always sunny" on that display on the 777s that says "Owned by us" and other things. Nice to get some more rides on the PEPs while you can too!
Loved it G as always. Your enthusiasm is a wonderful thing. As is your relationship with Lucy, it is obvious you are meant for each other. And at 5:24 when you were bouncing on the seat...squishy boobieees!! Sorry, I know its corny but I couldnt resist. Blame it on my age.
@@GLovesTrains Your welcome. By the way, nice bit of psychedelic lens flare from the sun in the opening clip. Very Easy Rider. You hardly ever see that these days, but I like it.
I'd offer to let you have a look on Platform 2 at James Street but I'm leaving that station soon and heading to Headbolt Lane. Great video as always G, keep it up!
Hi G , great to see you in West Kirby . As you love parks we have a really nice park here called Ashton park with ducks and geese on a large lake. The track bed of the West Kirby to Hooton branch line runs through the park. This is called the Wirral country park. You might like to visit sometime. It would have made a wonderful preserved railway but is now enjoyed by walkers , cyclists and horse riders and is a haven for wild life. Thanks for your videos as I've always loved trains too.
Hooton , Rock Ferry and one of the Birkenhead ones can't remember which are the most interesting ones on the Wirral as they have mysterious tracked platforms which don't seem to be in passenger use although I have read some really early ones use the Rock Ferry bays.
Love how Lucy said Fazakerley 🤣 to be fair to her, that’s how it’s written. Great Vlog G, the random station generator thingy gives some good ideas for days out.
Very enjoyable as ever, G - I love the random station generator idea :) also, kudos to Lucy that always manages to be out of shot unless you ask her a question! 😜
I was at Chester 3 or 4 weeks ago and it was about 50/50 between PEPs and 777's. Rode my first "Buzzy Bee" - great train, and it was probably my last time in a PEP proper.
My best friend lives in Eastham, there's some lovely woods and nice pubs in the area. When the tide is out you can walk to Hilbre Island - just be careful not to get stuck there as all the houses are empty!
i popped to Fazakery in 2021 i walked there from Kirkby town centre as i saw a blue sign for Fazakery also i visited West Kirby last year its a lovely station & the waterfront is amazing & back in September i popped to Cressington which is a lovely station & i passed through Moorfields while switching from each line & the 777s are fab i found the ride very smooth but i will miss the PEPS when they go awesome vlog
Those 777's are very smart - I do like the design of those. Very modern. Nice to see a bit of the Wirral too as my folks used to have friends there, and were frequent visitors to that corner of Merseyside. I do like Liverpool, and I'm glad you and Lucy enjoyed your Merseyrail adventure!
Noticed since the timetable change, Green Lane has had it's Monday - Saturday service reinstated but on Sundays it seems only Ellesmere Port services call at the station.
The class 507s and 508s are so much better than the 777s, the 777s are not only uncomfortable but their reliability has been so bad recently that they've made it into the Liverpool echo
The seating isn’t quite as bad as Thameslink! One issue I always have right moan at is the lack of tables. Why can’t a proper standard layout be provided? Comfy seating with plenty of padding and seating with tables that align with the windows. There always seems to be far more focus on the less necessary aspects like plug-in sockets, wi-fi and accessibility. It’s tantamount to decorating a cake that’s not been cooked properly.
The random station generator continues to bring up some pleasant surprises If you're up for a real challenge with a random station vlog, how about spelling your name using a Manchester Wayfarer, as there are stations and tram stops in Greater Manchester starting with every letter in your channel name
The 777's are in my opinion really cool by means of design. Stadler Rail, the builder of these EMU's, is famous in Europe because of the quality's of their trains. Another great video by the way!
Brilliant video G, the 777's are amazing trains but I'll deffo miss the PEP's when they've all been withdrawn. I deffo do not want to be caught up in hail lol.
Which Merseyrail train do you prefer. The Class 507, Class 508 or the new Class 777 that Stadler built for Merseyrail. I have to say that the Class 777 are very nice modern trains and it’s about time that Merseyside needed new trains to improve better services. And to accommodate more extra passengers who use Merseyrail and live In Merseyside. Plus the weather looks really nice and calm.
I’m just here for the knicker scene
Another great video G, and great to see you on my local rail network again! I don't know if you are aware, but when you are getting off a 777 you can press the button to open the door before it goes green. You can even press it before the train stops, and the door will still open.
Thanks for letting me know!
I’m local to West Kirby - good to see you in the area!
"Always Sunny In Merseyside"
Meanwhile in Fazakerley - HAIL HAIL HAIL!

Haha I remember your wood 😂

Pleasant video and you are always smilling
Nice to see the newest rolling stocks on Mersey Rail
Fun video, G! They really need to put "Always sunny" on that display on the 777s that says "Owned by us" and other things. Nice to get some more rides on the PEPs while you can too!
Haha they should ye!
Only one of those I need; Old Roan. Be a while before I can tick it off, so busy at mo!
Such a beautiful journey! I love seeing the beach! 😎

Fantastic trip round the Merseyrail network good random station choice as ever great V blog G 👍🙂
Hi,G thanks for the video love the 777 buzzy bee's. Always like seeing old trains too. That beach and the island looks beautiful!!😎🚃🚃🚃🇬🇧💚
Thanks Christopher!
Another fun video! Such cool trains! Keep having fun and stay safe!
That’s Llandudnos great orm in that huge mountain/hill so that’s nice to see
Awesome Video G Loves Trains 😄😄
Hooton , Rock Ferry and one of the Birkenhead ones can't remember which are the most interesting ones on the Wirral as they have mysterious tracked platforms which don't seem to be in passenger use although I have read some really early ones use the Rock Ferry bays.
They used to be the end points of the electric lines, but once the lines were extended, they are just used as sidings now.
Hopefully will be the Southport line getting the 777s next with the timetable changes that they are doing in the neighbourhood
Ellesmereport is my local station I always use Merseyrail when going to Liverpool
Nice vlog of these random stations in Merseyside G. I’ve done a fair few of them myself! I enjoyed watching as always.
Thanks Sam!
Love the videos try and visit every single Merseyrail station in one day by the way I thought Lucy was a lad short for lucious
Well done to both of you very enjoyable video great idea ✅✅👍👍
These videos look great on a vr headset
I like how u call it a buzzy bee. Buzzy bee sounds like a good name for the Metrolink trams as well
Love how Lucy said Fazakerley 🤣 to be fair to her, that’s how it’s written. Great Vlog G, the random station generator thingy gives some good ideas for days out.
There's a shop in the Wigan called it 😂
Seathforth and Litherland was the Northern terminus of the Liverpool Overhead Railway, closed in 1956.
Very enjoyable as ever, G - I love the random station generator idea :) also, kudos to Lucy that always manages to be out of shot unless you ask her a question! 😜
I was at Chester 3 or 4 weeks ago and it was about 50/50 between PEPs and 777's. Rode my first "Buzzy Bee" - great train, and it was probably my last time in a PEP proper.
Great video! It's nice sometimes to go a bit random!
Thanks Reece!
Good as ever G
Visiting 7 random stations in honour of the new 777s is absolutely the right thing to do.
Absolute quality and very entertaining.
Please keep up the fantastic work and sharing with us.
Mad to see Seaforth and Litherland!!
What did you think of Rimrose Valley Park?
x
6:45 Well done designing 777007 G! Nice of them to give it to you too, apparently you own it!
Good video G.
My best friend lives in Eastham, there's some lovely woods and nice pubs in the area. When the tide is out you can walk to Hilbre Island - just be careful not to get stuck there as all the houses are empty!
i popped to Fazakery in 2021 i walked there from Kirkby town centre as i saw a blue sign for Fazakery also i visited West Kirby last year its a lovely station & the waterfront is amazing & back in September i popped to Cressington which is a lovely station & i passed through Moorfields while switching from each line & the 777s are fab i found the ride very smooth but i will miss the PEPS when they go awesome vlog
I feel as though the underground section of the Merseyrail could be considered the fourth (underground) metro system.
Those 777's are very smart - I do like the design of those. Very modern. Nice to see a bit of the Wirral too as my folks used to have friends there, and were frequent visitors to that corner of Merseyside. I do like Liverpool, and I'm glad you and Lucy enjoyed your Merseyrail adventure!
Noticed since the timetable change, Green Lane has had it's Monday - Saturday service reinstated but on Sundays it seems only Ellesmere Port services call at the station.
I wish Manchester had an underground with proper trains like this instead of our silly tram system.
Chester & Ellesmere Port services from this week are all booked to be 777's. The last few weeks it has been a mixture of 507/508's and 777's.
The class 507s and 508s are so much better than the 777s, the 777s are not only uncomfortable but their reliability has been so bad recently that they've made it into the Liverpool echo

i dont know about reliability but the 777s are so mich more comfortable than the 50X
Lmao, me watching this while hailstones hit Rio and you're getting hailstones in Merseyside 😂
At about 4 mins in the video, was that a Vivarail converted D stock in the background?
Yep
The random station generator continues to bring up some pleasant surprises
If you're up for a real challenge with a random station vlog, how about spelling your name using a Manchester Wayfarer, as there are stations and tram stops in Greater Manchester starting with every letter in your channel name
Not sure its doable in one day! 😂
Old roan is my station where I get off the train to go to work 3 days a week
G if you walk across to Hilbre island you will see colony of seals that reside on the far side of the last island
You could have changed at Sandhills as well to get the train to cressington
The 777's are in my opinion really cool by means of design. Stadler Rail, the builder of these EMU's, is famous in Europe because of the quality's of their trains. Another great video by the way!
G you are a crazy person but in a good way :P - thank you for the videos
I hope you liked my home station of Chester
I love Chester and the staff there are great!
Amazing vlog G nice to see the 777 buzzy bees ive still yet to ride one are they better than the 507 +508?
No squeaky seats but they got big buttons!
Either it’s great orm or Anglesey most probably great orm
Brilliant video G, the 777's are amazing trains but I'll deffo miss the PEP's when they've all been withdrawn. I deffo do not want to be caught up in hail lol.
G the order you visit them is not important as long as you visit all 78 of the stations on the list
Glad I didn't have to call a messager a dolt in this one! (G will know what I mean!)😅
Which Merseyrail train do you prefer. The Class 507, Class 508 or the new Class 777 that Stadler built for Merseyrail. I have to say that the Class 777 are very nice modern trains and it’s about time that Merseyside needed new trains to improve better services.

I enjoy things about each!

Why is it called " The Wirral "?
Its short for The Wirral Peninsula
It's the Wirral Peninsula. Wirral comes from Old English and refers to trees that once grew in the area.
Getting any fanny yet G?
More than you 😂
