I wouldn't name anything Football related isn't it sufficient to have trains named after football legends from Merseyside.

I don't think a Merseyrail unit that maybe coming to the end of its working life should be named after HM The Queen. Was a good thought though.

I think it's very important that local landmarks and events are recognised as well as local celebrities

Football has played a part in Merseyside's history. I definitely think there is a case for units to be named after Anfield and Goodison Park - they are important local landmarks that are known worldwide and are instantly associated with Liverpool. I definitely think a unit should be named in memory of The 96 as well

I don't the fact 507001 might be coming to the end of its working life makes it a bad idea to name the unit after the Queen. It's a very important unit - and it's possible that it could be preserved once it has been withdrawn from service
