The Final Curtian Falls on the Class 507s on the Merseyrail
507001 & 507029 have left the Merseyrail network meaning there are no PEPs left on MR Metals. ๐ญ
Truly the End of an Era ๐

Well time to end the short PEP bash back on the unit that started it 507029! ๐
It was a short and sweet run up to Liverpool to ride all three units out. Time to head home and get some kip ๐
#DOTS #railwayphotography #trainphotography #class507 #PEP #merseyrail
507029 has been on the Ormskirk line today!! ๐
Here it is at Liverpool Central and Ormskirk
#class507
#merseyrail
Three units! 3 PEPs out in one evening! Unprecedented! ๐
After a Non-Stop LVC - HNX and back on 507029, 003 took me on a short hop to Moorfields to incept 507023 on the Ellesmere Ports ๐
#DOTS #railwayphotography #trainphotography #class507 #PEP #merseyrail #hellfire
It's a cold winters evening so it would be best to get in the house whack the fire on and have a cuppa โ
Not for me! 507029 is on the Ormskirk so let's get this PEP bash going! They will never die!!!! ๐คฉ
#DOTS #railwayphotography #trainphotography #class507 #PEP #merseyrail
Good to see 507s still out and about on the Wirral line, here is 507003 at Spital and Bromborough today (16/11/2024)
#class507
#merseyrail
It's arrived ๐๐
Nice addition to the 507 collection with Plushy 507001 ๐
#DOTS #railwayphotography #trainphotography #class507 #PEP #merseyrail #hellfire
Well it's been a fun day of PEP chasing on the Merseyrail ๐
Managed probably my last 6 car and several runs around the loop. Will these be my last 507s runs? Only time will tell ๐ฅบ
#DOTS #railwayphotography #trainphotography #Merseyrail #class507 #PEP #hellfire
The Northern Line is also getting in on the PEP action ๐
507018 & 507029 are my chariots for my potentially last Northern line runs behind class 507s ๐ฅฒ
#DOTS #railwayphotography #trainphotography #class507 #PEP #merseyrail #hellfire
Well a couple of loops around the Wirral has brought me back to Liverpool Central.
But what brings me back onto the Northern Side of the Network.....๐
#DOTS #railwayphotography #trainphotography #class507 #PEP #merseyrail #hellfire
It's apt a 507 is on my favourite route for what could be my last day riding one ๐ฅฒ
Takes me back to my younger days every weekend doing a saveway. Right full diagram time me thinks! ๐ฅ
#DOTS #railwayphotography #trainphotography #class507 #PEP #merseyrail #hellfire
With the News that the withdrawals are to start next week only apt I'd come back and ride them again. ๐ฅฒ
507003 takes me round the loop on a New Brighton Diagram ๐
#DOTS #railwayphotography #trainphotography #class507 #PEP #merseyrail #hellfire
Well one last run in Merseyside before other matters need to be attended to! โ๏ธ
Take it away 507003 ๐
#DOTS #railwayphotography #trainphotography #class507 #PEP #merseyrail #hellfire
Treat each time like it's your last ๐ฅฒ
After a few snaps of this veteran machine I best get some miles on it so a full NBN - NBN diagram for me ๐
#DOTS #railwayphotography #trainphotography #class507 #PEP #merseyrail #hellfire
Well what have we got here ๐
It was a pure coincidence as I had already checked to see if any were out before I left wolves. But Merseyrail comes in Clutch again ๐

A Merseyrail class 507 at West Kirby
507003 waiting to work the 16:36 service from West Kirby earlier today
#merseyrail
#class507
Obviously I didn't attend the 507 Farewell Tour, but I'll share a few photos of these PEPs I've taken over the years. Not the biggest fan of them, but they did a job decently well over the decades.
#Train #Class507 #Merseyrail
Once again my Wallet was plundered on a 507 tour ๐
Plenty of cool merchandise to add to the collection though ๐
#DOTS #railwayphotography #trainphotography #class507 #507farewell #PEP #merseyrail
So the day has come. The Class 507 Farewell ๐ฅฒ
Time for one last bash around the Northern Lines behind the best traction the country by far ๐
#507farewell #class507 #PEP #Merseyrail #hellfire #class508 #megatraction #southport
Quite happy with 507003 delivering me to tonight accommodation ๐
Right time for some rest and relaxation for tomorrow's main event ๐คฉ
#DOTS #railwayphotography #trainphotography #class507 #PEP #merseyrail #hellfire
MERSEYRAIL FINALLY GOT THE MEMO ๐
507003 has snuck out the night before the tour so it's only natural that I'll ride this absolute beast. ๐ช
#DOTS #railwayphotography #trainphotography #class507 #PEP #merseyrail #hellfire
Glad I saw the 507s when I did.
Farewell you old workhorses ๐ซก #class507
Well as we head into their final week I'm going to be chronicling my times with the trains that made me the rail enthusiast i am today: The Class 507s ๐
#507farewell #class507 #PEP #Merseyrail #hellfire #class508 #megatraction
Potentially my last PEP to & from Chester lasted about 3 hours ๐
So 507029 takes the crown as the New potential last PEP to & from Chester ๐คฃ
