I thought 507 withdrawals were on hold until after the Grand National?

Apparently not, but there will not be any after next week till 22 April so I’ve been told
But as usual, things change weekly or even daily.
I suppose it’s all connected with new 777 arrivals and stabling space on the Network

RE: Merseyrail
Hi.

As an outsider do we know how many 507/508 are still operational in Merseyside?

Thank You.

Thank You.

15 507s left in service now.
A handful of 508s had soldiered on into the New Year, but were withdrawn shortly afterwards.
